I am currently using a custom checkbox field in Events Booking to collect consent for sharing contact details with event sponsors.I noticed that the complete displayed checkbox text seems to be stored as the field value. In my case, this is a longer consent text:“I agree that my contact details may be shared with the sponsors of this event. Further information can be found in the privacy policy.”For later exports and evaluations, it would be much more practical if only a short value such as “Yes” could be stored in the database and exports, while the full consent text is still displayed in the form.From RSForm!Pro, I know the following format:
Code:
Yes|I agree that my contact details may be shared with the sponsors of this event. Further information can be found in the privacy policy.
In this format, the part before the pipe character is the stored value, and the part after the pipe character is the displayed text.Would it be possible to add a similar feature to Events Booking for checkboxes, radio buttons, and select fields?In my view, this would be very helpful because longer legal or explanatory texts could still be displayed properly in the form, while a short and clear value could be stored for the database, exports, email placeholders, and further processing.Thank you very much.Best regards,
Lutz
