I can receive the completed form into my email box fine.

But I get these messages instead of the actual checkbox:

**CHECKBOX RW47AABAED 4C3F 4EDC B1C0 212596127519[]**

Therefore I have no idea on what checkbox they are ticking?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

To continue this. With a drop down option I don’t see any answers on the response - only this **SELECT RW1C25BE79 D826 455B 9432 0CED7B1BC67A.**

On other drop downs I actually don’t see the answers at all.

Help please ☹

Make sure the form field or input has a name set. If no name is set, it will just use the unique ID.

Try updating your form fields/dropdowns and let me know how you get on.
