The date field is returning "array" in the notification email.

The date field is returning "array" in the notification email.I tried using the field ID to pass the value to a hidden text field, like I did for email. But referencing my new hidden date still returns "array."So yeah, I also had to pass the Fill in the Blank email value to a hidden email field so that the autoresponder email could reference it.

Hi, LinksDesign.

We want to check it further. Can you please share with us the link to your form? Maybe you can also share with us a screenshot to help us understand where the error is happening.

We will wait for your reply.

I also posted a private question with my form URL, which I don't want to include here. But here are some screenshots:

My autoresponder couldn't access the FITB email field, so I had to pass the value to a hidden email field (using the field ID).

There is also no "Inline Field / Preferred Date" or "Inline Field / Backup Date" available to me in the notification email template. So I tried my hack again, with field IDs for each date in hidden text fields. But the email only submitted "Array," instead of the selected dates.

I was able to reproduce the issue you are having when I tested a cloned version of your form on my end.

It seems that having the value of the Date field of a Fill in the Blank field to appear in email alerts is not an option. It is not included in the list of fields that you can add in email alerts and from what I understand, you have just added the field name of the field manually in the email notification of your form.

So you could meet your requirements, you can pass the value of the Date field in the Fill in the Blank field of your form into another field first using conditions, then you can use that field in the email content of your form's email alerts.
