Remove Q number from "name" field

I am trying to POST data collected via Jotform to another system, and I have established a connection between the two platforms.

However, I can't make use of this connection because Jotform automatically inserts "q1_", "q2_" etc into the "name" field of each form.

This stops the destination system recognising my field names I have no way of removing without writing PHP. I am unwilling to do that because that would create more work than it saves.

How do I stop Jotform inserting those extra characters?

Unfortunately, there is no way to remove the prefix q#. If you like to remove this you would need to export the source code and embed it on your own site.

For the PHP integration related concern, I would suggest you to please check the Webhook PHP examples

If you need further assistance, please feel free to revert back.

Thanks.

I don't understand why you're sabotaging your own product by putting that code in there. What purpose does it serve?

If you didn't do that, a non-specialist user could integrate a Jotform with their CRM database. 

Thanks for the good suggestion. I will add this to our feature list. So our development team can plan to implement it.

If you need further assistance, please feel free to revert back.

Thanks.

Hi,

I've just done another test, this time removing the q# from source code and embedding on a website i own.

It still doesn't work, but now because Jotform does not recognise the field and passes my system empty parameters.  The last five submissions of this form https://form.jotformeu.com/61922607912355 were made using the set-up described, and all submissions are empty in jotform.

So you solution doesn't work.

Do you have another?

We apologize for the inconvenience. But the system is developed in that way, that "q#" automatically adds with the form field name. And accordingly system process the value of form fields. 

So unfortunately it is not possible to remove the q# from the name of form field. As earlier I mentioned we will consider it as a feature development request. So our Development team will look this request, and will plan accordingly to implement that feature.
