ProForms post submission in JetEngine CPT and CF

Hey team. I’m currently working on a site re-build. This time Im using JetEngine for CPT and CF.

On the front I use Proforms to have users submit a new CPT in WP. But NOTHING gets submitted into WordPress. The post is created, but non of the field data is coming in.

Is this broken, or am I doing something damn wrong this time… :thinking:

It should be pretty simple as JetEngine is coming up as source in Proforms.

Anything I should look for here?

John.

I sent over a support ticket about this issue now.

Hey :slight_smile: Could you share screenshots of your actions configuration?

Hey Daniele!

Can you use a screen-video? I did one for Jetengine while Im showing many details on how I have been doing things. Just speed through it :slight_smile:

I see a major issue here :slight_smile:

As “Post Meta Name”, you are adding dynamic data tags like {your-data-tag}. But this control is just asking for the plain post meta name, for example “color”, not “{color}”, because “{color}” for example would be parsed to “blue”. And “blue” is not a correct Post Meta Name :slight_smile:

So remove the brackets and add plain post meta names. The correct field should be recognized then :slight_smile: You can find the post meta names of your custom fields in the JetEngine settings.

Please let me know if that works! :folded_hands:

Ah, omg. I thought I did try a change for that, but let me try again :slight_smile:

I was hoping it would be a simple solution like this.

That was it Daniele! So thanks. The only thing I find tricky now is to also get my dropdown field choices, which are taxonomies, to connect to the same in WP.

Are we using different “update” type for that. ?

Great :slight_smile:

Taxonomies can be passed with the “Create Post” action :slight_smile: They are no Post Meta, so the “Update Post Meta” will not work here.

Ah, of course :roll_eyes: I think I worked myself blind on this the last days. Awesome, thank you. :tada:
