Hi,

I’ve been trying to do the same and have got the following workaround.

For each drop down selection you need a hidden output field to display the results.

It appears the email body can only handle data from Input or Output fields. If you add any other type the email won’t go through.

For example: Drop down selection id Fruit > Apples (1) or Oranges (2)
Hidden Output field id email_fruit > if(Fruit=1,”Apples”,”Oranges)

Then in the email form add {{email_fruit}}

I’ve also noted that using this method you can’t return an alphanumeric value unless you start the string with a character not a number i.e. if(Fruit=1,”8 Apples”… – does not work but if(Fruit=1″- 8 Apples”… does work.

Same for the input field. I have a box for a contact telephone number but this would be blank when emailed if only a number was entered. For the moment I have included some text (Contact telephone:) as default in the entry box.

This is just what I have found in my brief time with this excellent plug-in. I should also note that I couldn’t get the email to work with some themes so have dropped back to Twenty Eleven for now.

Hope that helps.
