How to show the text selection and not the image selected in the submission?

    .

    So I'm working on a form that lets you choose between two types of cakes with images as examples, and I want the submission just to show the selection, not the image selected (as it happens with the Image Picker widget). Any idea how to accomplish that?


    Unrelated bonus question (should I make a new thread?):

    What happens when the usage for the Upload Space reaches the limit? Is there a way to attach images to the form but then just send them as attachments to the email and that they don't use space in Jotforms?

    Thanks!

    You can use Form Calculation widget

    to get the value of the selection and not the image selected.

    Now you can target the calculation widget, instead of the Image picker widget to show the selection in your email notification.

    Uhm one question, how can I do it so it the calculation question doesn't show up in the form for the user? I cannot hide it as the email notification doesn't show the hidden questions (I need it like that).

    No. Hidden fields does appear in your email notification, I just tested this now. I used the form calculation widget and made it hidden, my notification still show this.

    You're right! It does show up. Nice.

    In the end I went for a masked input text box because the calculation widget was also showing the URL and that would confuse customers.


    Thanks for the help!
