Hi there,

I am using Formz (https://modx.com/extras/package/formz) for my web forms. it's good because it stores a copy of every submission in the DB, and also emails the customer and or admin.

All was fine when only one form.
Now I have two forms, but I can't seem to edit the 'subject' field - so the 'I need more info' form has the same subject as 'Unsubscribe me ASAP' form! - Not ideal!

In Formz there is the option to add additional properties - so I have used:

&emailTpl=`unsubscribeEmailTpl`||&emailSubject=`UNSUBSCRIBE`

The Email TPL is working, but the email subject is being ignored.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
Andy

&emailTpl=`unsubscribeEmailTpl`
&emailSubject=`UNSUBSCRIBE`

leaving out the: ||

Thanks but the docs say to include the ||
Also I tried it with Just

&emailSubject=`UNSUBSCRIBE`
[\code]

but it ignored the subject and used the default.

I'm not familiar with Formz, but the || is very odd since you'd expect that MODX would be parsing the tag before Formz gets involved, unless Formz is a plugin that's parsing the page before it's parsed by MODX.
