 * Hi,
 * I am just getting started with os ticket.
 * I do however have a question in that..
 * When going through the issues on here, you reference the osticket api here: [https://github.com/osTicket/osTicket/blob/master/setup/doc/api/tickets.md](https://github.com/osTicket/osTicket/blob/master/setup/doc/api/tickets.md)
   however there is no mention in that doc of topic being required? In fact the 
   only reference to topic in that doc is topicId
 * If this is required, do the topics need to match the topics available in osticket
   or is this automatically generated as a new topic id in Osticket.
 * The field in the example (and I agree with another poster that typing this out
   is prone to errors, please can you supply txt based examples?) is simply an empty
   txt field… I don’t get it,, if these need to match the available topics in osticket
   should this not be a drop down?
 * Can you clear this up for me?
 * Thanks

 * Just as reference, this is the post [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-values/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-values/)…
   it could do with some clarification as you state on github that topic name is
   required and not required at the same time. It is a little ambiguous…. None the
   less, I got it working with formidable.. Thanks for the cool plugin.
