Hello,

If I well understood, in the E-mail field configuration panel you can choose – by playing with Send an e-mail field – if you want email to be sent:
- never
- always
- only once after the form is submitted for the first time (Add option)
- after the form has been modified (Modify option)

After the Send an e-mail select there is a text field.
What is the purpose of this text field?

Other question:
I could manage the workflow for sending an email directly in the configuration panel of the E-mail field.
But there is also some workflow options available trough the #4 button Access and restriction.
Don't you think it could lead to some conflict if, for example one choose Add in the panel of the E-mail field and Mofify in the restriction option?

Regards

Restriction will restrict field from beeing executed so in case restriction is triggered settings in the field should not matter as field is not executed at all.

Hi

After the Send an e-mail select there is a text field.
What is the purpose of this text field?

As far as I understand it - never tried - you can override that setting with a select field i.e. select simple, so the user can decide when to send email, so in there goes the field name i.e. my_funky_select_field

Hello Bucklash,

That's sound great but I can't figure out how you can choose one option of the custom select field my_funky_select_field.

Hi

It would be like this:

Get numbers associated with action ie send on edit=1, on add=2 etc

then your simple select field will be:

edit(or whatever text you like)=1

add(or whatever...)=2

and then the email field will apply that value to determine when to send email

Hello Bucklash,

It's more clear for me now, thank you.

But I need to know which value is corresponding to an action of the workflow (edit, add, never, always).

I guess these values are some kind of presets.

You are giving some hints: edit=1, add=2 but what about the two others default action 'always' and 'never'. Is always=3 and never=4?

Regards

You can get values by inspecting the field in browser
