Is the fact that the column header in the Form Submission Data table says "field" instead of the element name "Message" a bug with Webflow or am I missing something?

TL;DR
  • Verify the field name is set correctly in Webflow Designer's Form Block settings.
  • Check Form Settings for correct field IDs/Names; review any recent changes affecting naming.
  • Republish the Webflow site to ensure all changes are applied.
  • If unresolved, contact Webflow Support or consult the Webflow Forum.

The issue you're experiencing with the Form Submission Data table displaying "field" instead of the element name "Message" might not necessarily be a bug. It could be related to how the form field is set up or named within your Webflow project.

1. Check Field Naming

  • Ensure that the field name is correctly set in the Form Block settings in Webflow Designer.
  • If you've named it "Message" in the designer, it should reflect this in the Form Submission Data.

2. Check Form Settings

  • Go to the Form Settings in the Webflow Editor.
  • Verify the field IDs/Names to ensure they correctly match what you expect them to be.

3. Review Recent Changes

  • Check if any recent changes were made to the form fields that might affect the naming.
  • Sometimes, making manual updates without republishing can lead to temporary display inconsistencies.

4. Publish the Project

  • Republish your Webflow site to ensure all changes are applied.
  • Sometimes, older changes not being pushed correctly can lead to display differences.

5. Webflow Support or Forum

  • If the field continues to display incorrectly even after these checks, it might be worth reaching out to Webflow Support.
  • Alternatively, consider posting on the Webflow Forum to see if others have experienced similar issues.

Summary

The "field" header in the Form Submission Data instead of "Message" is likely due to a setup issue rather than a bug. Verify and adjust your form field settings and consider republishing your site to ensure changes are applied. If the issue persists, contact Webflow Support for further assistance.
