Why am I seeing "Type a Question" in my email notifications?

    Would you please tell me why on some of my questions fields, I am seeing "Type a question" and on some of them, the question that I have filled out is populating. How do I make it so that it shows the question title on all?

    Hello there,

    Thank you for contacting Jotform.

    I have checked your email notification and was able to see that it is included in your email template. You can have this removed by going into your email notification settings.

    Here's the guide how you can customize the email template:

    Hi Carissa, this is not what I was talking about. I am specifically referring to the rows and columns that litterally say "Type a question" - why does is say that instead of the actual question I have on my form. Can you see how it would be confusing to recieve an email with an answer next to a colunm that just says "type a question? And not know what question I have asked that they're answering?

    Hello again,

    Thank you for clarifying your concern.

    Can you tells us what is the link of the form connected to this email template? We would be needing to check if the field on this specific line is blank.

    That is one of the reason, the field may have short text field and the question on it is blank or did not have any text at all.

    Thanks again.

    Apologies for any delays. I have been testing a cloned version of your form but I was not able to reproduce the issue you are referring to in the screenshot you have shared with us on this ticket. It is probably because the current content of the email autoresponder that is set up on your form is different from what is shown in your screenshot.

    Are you perhaps referring to another form that is in your account?
