When I make the email element show based on a display rule it disappears from the Settings->Email Notices->Notification & Auto-Response message Reply-To and To dropdowns. What I've got is a checkbox above an email element that indicates the person filling out the form wants to receive a confirmation email. See attached screenshots that demonstrate the problem. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Try setting them to required.

Thanks for the suggestion Eric. However, changing the email to required didn't make the email field appear in the settings screen. The only way it appears is if I change the display rule to always instead of "using a display rule". Any other ideas?

Thanks

Is the email being hidden before submission? It must be showing when the user clicks the submit button.

The email field name is not appearing in the drop down list in the settings screen on the Email Notices Tab. I've got the Notification Message and Auto-response message checkboxes checked. The Reply-To: and To: dropdowns do not show the email field if the email fields show element property is set to "using a display rule". If I change the email fields show element property to Always, then the dropdowns on the settings correctly show the email field. However, I have a checkbox that indicates the user filling out the form wants to receive an email, so I need the display rule.

This is exactly the same thing I've been wrestling with finding a work around for Eric (in our emails).

Robert, the issue is due to the fact that email elements "cannot" be setup with a conditional and work normally. I'm sure there are some instances where it can be done, but there are a lot of features that cannot be used if you try doing that so for the most part that is not a feature of the program. You will need to set your email field to not have a conditional in it in order to setup the Reply and Response email setups as it won't let you do it any other way.

@Eric: This is what I was talking about in the email earlier, trying to get this to work with all settings being able to be used for the Reply and Response emails. If you attempt to setup a conditional on an email field, you cannot use the Reply or Response email setups at all. At least no way I can see and Scott says this is not something the program is setup to do so it may need to be a work around to be able to hard code (may not be the right term there) the email fields into the files manually?

@Robert: For now I would do as suggested above though and remove the conditional from the email field. Watch this post here though, if I do find a way around this I'll post it or someone will.

Ok now I'm seeing it and I thought maybe Robert's issue was related. Let me check this out.

Jo Ann: Thanks for your input. I'll keep an eye on this forum in case someone comes up with a solution. So for now I'll follow the advice I got here and remove the condition.

Jeff: Thank you for looking into this.

Ok I through something together. I sent JoAnn a link to test.
She or I will post back with the results. If it works the way she wants I will provide the instructions.

Ok got some feed back and it appears this will work.


Place the code above into an HTML element in the form builder.
Preview your form in the form builder and look at the source code to get the ID's of the email element and the Input you'll be checking for a value.
Adjust the #item1 to the div id that holds your complete email element.
Adjust the #item2_text_1 to the div id that is assigned to the actual input .
As it is now it will work with any thing taking input from user where they type a value. If you need it to respond to a check box or radio button I'll have to tweak it a little.
JQuery to the rescue.
