Do you have an updated method of displaying answers to custom questions? The methods mentioned in the forum and the documentation doesn’t work.

[ANSWER_*My Custom Question] generates a not a valid short code error

Hi CloudySkies,

The [ANSWER_*My Custom Question] will work but it needs to be placed within a section of the email template that will accept that shortcode. For example if you’re editing the Registration Approved message type, then the above shortcode can be placed into the
[ATTENDEE_LIST] * section of the template.

I’d like to put it in the ticket template but the question list will not accept it.

[QUESTION_LIST] takes all of the questions from the requestion and loops over each of them, outputting the details from that section for each question.

So you can not use an ANSWER_* shortcode to pull a specific answer on each question, that wouldn’t make sense.

So to output the answer to a specific question on the ticket template, you can use [RECIPIENT_ANSWER_*], in the example above it would be [RECIPIENT_ANSWER_*My Custom Question].

See – http://take.ms/9REPq

Note you can also see 2 examples of those shortcodes in use within the main content of that screenshot.
