Using the /Title Email tag

Updated last week

When using the Email option while building a new form I want to use the /Title in the Subject line of the email, but when the email arrives the /Title field includes the Submission number for that for as part of the Title.


How do I just get the Title, no submission number?

Hi Ray,

The /Title field available to the email template refers to the Title Template. Two options come to mind:

  1. Simply type in the title in the email subject. Since the title itself is static it is reasonable to just "hard code" this.

  2. Update the email template to only show the tile.

Thanks Anthony, but I still reckon it's a bug. The Submission number should not be included in the /Title tag.

I have hard coded as suggested.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the feedback, I've raised an issue internally to improve the terminology of the dynamic field to avoid confusion.

Just to explain the current behaviour the dynamic field called /Title is actually the "title template", this dynamic title helps to uniquely identify a response in the responses tab (see image below).

By default, the title template takes the format "{submisison number} {formTitle}", this is why you see the submission number when using the /Title field. Note if you have never used the title template feature, I highly recommend giving it a shot as it really helps with identifying responses :)

Thanks Anthony. Noted.
