Hi,

I am using formidable form, to create form. In the form I have a a couple of fields. One of them must populate the custom field I had set with ACF. To do that I need the custom field name. They gave an exemple for the thumbnail; they use ‘_thumbnail_id’. I couldn’t find anything in documentation.

Thanks for helping me sorting it out

Hi @Hicham

When creating a field in ACF, you specify the label and name. The name is auto populated based on the label, but you can see it and customize it.

For example, if you create an ACF field called ‘Thumbnail’, the name should be ‘thumbnail’. This is then what you would use in the formidable form plugin.

Does that help?

Thanks
