Select Email from Radio Buttons on a Form

asked on September 17, 2019

I'm working on a form that has radio buttons to represent employee supervisors; I changed the value of the radio buttons to be the supervisor's emails in hopes that this would be enough information for the form to be sent to the respective supervisor (in case the employee doesn't know their supervisor's email, or just to make it a little easier on them), but I have doubts that this will work properly. Is there a better way to do this? Should we incorporate Workflow?

Any advice is appreciated!

It depends on what type of authentication you are using. It looks like you are setting the values as the email address of the user. If that doesn't work, try to use the username.

If you go into the Administration section of Forms and see the user list, you should see the usernames of each user there.

It depends on how you are authenticating users, but setting a variable to a user's username (like you are doing via a radio button) and then assigning a task to that variable will assign the task to the proper person.

Thanks for your response, Jared! I have attached a screenshot. I am not entirely familiar with terminology, so I want to make sure that this looks correct! I previously had it set to Team based on variable and it did not work.

That looks right. Just make sure the Send_to_Supervisor variable is the supervisor's username.

Hi Jared,

Apologies for responding so late- I just noticed that you said the variable should be their usernames. I had assigned values to the radio boxes, as shown in the picture. Is this incorrect?

Thanks Jared! We had to put the full username, but it's working now!
