Forms - Insert dynamic value from form into User Task email body

asked on December 19, 2016

I have a form with a table, of which you can Add rows with user information. One of the columns is an Action. I would like to be able to take the value someone types in, and output that Action's field value into the body of the notification email generated from the Assign User Task.

Is there a way to identify which value to pull into the email ?

I am populating the form with the LF forms username. So I know which user was filled in. I know which user I am assigning the task to. I just need a way to retrieve the correct row from the form submission.

This is the variable I have in the body right now  {/dataset/Address_letters_to_/Action}

Address_letters_to_ is the table

Action is the column holding the values.

If this isn;t possible. The goal I am trying to acheive is to use forms to assign the task to 1 or more people for approval. Is there is a better approach to solve this problem, please share your thoughts. Thanks

Hi Ryan,

Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible just with the forms email task.  I would recommend sending to workflow to parse out what you want using a for each row.  I've taken this approach before and you have a lot more control of how the email looks.  Hope this helps!
