Summary
Displays the value submitted for the field with the specified field_id. If no value was submitted, the merge tag will not display anything. Adding optional modifiers are also available to display other data related to the field.
Usage
| Merge Tag | Example |
|---|---|
{[descriptor]:[field_id]} | {Something:1} |
{[descriptor]:[field_id]:[modifier]} | {Something:1:value} |
{:[field_id]} | {:1} |
{:[field_id]:[modifier]} | {:1:value} |
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| [descriptor] | Optional. A user defined value for readability. By default when using the merge tags widget, this will be the field name. Since this is optional, {:[field_id]} will work also. |
| [field_id] | Required. This is the value of the field_id, which may be a single number for the field, or a multi-part number for multi-part fields that have more than one field within them, such as the Name field. See Example below. |
| [modifier] | Optional. A list of possible modifiers are listed below. Some modifiers may be combined by comma-separating them. See :admin modifier below for example. |
Example
{text:4} will select field ID 4. {name:5.3} will target the 3rd part of the field ID 5, such as the first name within a name field. If in doubt as to how to determine your field ID, use the merge tag dropdown widget to select the field by name and the proper ID will be inserted for you.
