    On our form, we have a field named Client Birthdate that has a red asterisk to indicate that it is required. Yet, when I get their email submission, this Client Birthdate is not printing in the email. See attached. How do I fix this? Thank you.

    Unfortunately I cannot see the image attached. Please check this guide on how to add screenshots to the jotform forums

    However, I did check your latest forms and was able to confirm that the birthdate field is not being received in the email. I cloned your form and noticed that the field name for the date field was different in the email settings. You will need to go to the Email settings and follow the steps below.

    1. Delete the text beside the birthdate field as seen in the screenshot below

    2. Then while still on that same field, click on the Client Birthdate on the Form Fields options. A new text named {clientBirthdate233} should appear on the field seen in the screenshot.

    3. Then simply click Finish once you're done.

    This is how it should appear in the email once you are done editing.
