hi i am trying to edit any message templates. The issue i am having is that i cannot find my custom Register form question fields and answers to be added in my message templates (e.g. under Main Content editor)

For example, under Register Form questions.. i have added DIET as my question and Vegetarian/Not fussy as my answers…

I want to add my DIET question and the chosen answer in my message template in Main Content editor. Picture below as an example of where i want to add my questions and answer in my message templates..

Hi Alvin,

Event Espresso provides a dynamic shortcode that can be used to pull in the answer to any custom questions rather than creating individual shortcodes for each question. That shorcode is:

[RECIPIENT_ANSWER_*{question_text}]

So if you wants to output the answer to a question call ‘DIET’ you would use:

[RECIPIENT_ANSWER_*DIET]

The {question_text} must match exactly what has been iput into the question text field for the question – http://take.ms/5ndEi

The messages system will then parse that shortcode to the value the registrant has entered for that question.

Does that help?
