    Thank you. It is easy once you know where to look! One last thing is on
    the Thank You page. I want it to display the first name (Hello,
    {firstname} ) It did it in the beginning then in messing around I
    managed to delete the field and don't know how to get it back. Can you
    help me? https://form.jotform.com/60607159494159
    Thank you

    1. Setup your Thank You page by following this guide: Setting Up the Thank You Page

    2. Click the Edit Text to open the Editor

    Her question is how to display the {firstName}, NOT the {fullName}.

    That is correct Sunny. Thank you for your reply. The user did state the previous First Name field was deleted, and the Full Name field may have been its replacement. The user will first have to add the {fullName} in the Thank You page. The {fullName} can still be used to display the First Name by adding :first in the fullName field so it looks like this: {fullName:first}

    Regards.
