    Hello Dear JotForm Team!

    I need to give a "Image-Choice" to the User on Jotform Card, 
    but the Email Confirmation should have NOT the image of the choice. 
    It should have - ONLY the text. 

    I found this question, but without final answer from you:
    https://www.jotform.com/answers/1459027-Image-choices-widget-Ability-to-display-the-text-value-instead-of-images-in-the-email-notification

    The other problem I found - it is impossible to use "Image Radio Buttons" on JotForm Cards. This would have solve the problem. 


    Please tell me, how can I realize the "Image Choices" on JotForm, 
    but get ONLY text result in the Email Confirmation of the choice made by user?

    Maybe there is a alternative way?

    Thank you and I wait for your unswer.

    Hello Ewgenij, I can suggest a workaround to receive only text value for Image Choice field on email notifications. You can use standard Image Choice field on a card form and assign 'Calculation Values' to image options:

    Here is related guide: How-to-Assign-Calculation-Value

    After that, you may add Form Calculation widget to capture calculation value from Image Choice field: How-to-Perform-Form-Calculation-Using-a-Widget

    Then, it should be simple to include a calculation widget on email notifications instead of Image Choice field: How-to-Edit-the-Email-Template-for-Notifications-and-Autoresponders

    Hope this helps! But, please get back to us if you need further assistance.
