Text Field Properties

Text Field Properties allow you to set the parameters for any text fields used on your forms, for example the maximum number of characters that a recipient can input.

In this example we will not allow recipients to update their email address as it is our Primary Key.

There is already a parameter in our email text box that restricts any customer who is using the form from being able to update its content:

<input readonly="readonly" type="text" />

To define the Email text box so it updates a list field of the same name.

Either:

• Double- click in the Email text box

Or:

• Click the Text Field Properties button

Set the following:

• Name: {SetField:Email,pk}:When you save your creative, if EM is creating a new list then it will use the ,pk in the SetField variable to identify the field it will use this field as the Primary Key.

• Value: {toemail}: This is an account variable that will display the email address that you are sending your email to. This is relevant for what we are doing in this example.

Define the First Name text box so it updates a list field of the same name by entering the following:

• Name: {SetField:First Name}

• Value: {toalias}: This is an account variable that displays the To Alias you are sending your email to. This is relevant for what we are doing in this example:

NOTE GDC forms do not support Unicode field names. Field names using Unicode characters can be created in List Manager but should not be used with GDC forms.
