Adding new fields after setup - michatmaster7 - Aug 14th, 2012
External Forms, adding a new field: http://docs.formtools.org/userdoc2_1/?page=adding_form_fields
This page needs a new screenshot and updated documentation, as it used to automatically detect the new field in your form and fill in some of the info for you.
Now you have to manually add all the information to your new fields here in order for FT to save the new fields.
This becomes very tedious if you have to add more than one field at a time to an existing external form.
RE: Adding new fields after setup - apdesign_pt - Jun 17th, 2013
hello
I have a question (report a bug?)...
After I setup my form I needed to add a few fields manually because in my form I have a serie of questions and I need to separate each serie with a type of tittle.
I know formtools have a way to group questions but this is a different kind of group / separation.
So I added new fields, like this: http://docs.formtools.org/userdoc2_1/?page=adding_form_fields
However whenever I get a submission those fields are not shown.
And I need to see them... Can any one help?
Thank you in advance

Hi there,
Since you are connecting through an external form, you might want to confirm that the field names you've added in Form Tools correspond to the field names you have in your external form.
Cheers,
Joe

Hello Joe
Thank you for your reply
I will double check my form and lets see
By the way, I have another question. There is any way we can add a title in a group of question?
I will explain better...
I have a group of questions which belong to one specific are like, "Commercial requests" which have 5 or 6 questions to our clients, than I have another group of 6 question belonging to "Administrative" and I would like to add these 'titles' in the form however they are not questions.
I only want them in my backoffice so I may control which group belongs to which areas, immediately. And when I download all submissions I would have everything arranged and organized. It not a big thing
but would help us a lot 
Thank you.
