Hi, not sure if this is a bug or not but I have selected 'merged items' for 2 forms I want to share the same templates, however the template shortcodes only work for the form/item thats selected as "item #1", and whatever is "item #2" shows nothing when you submit the form, even the zapier shortcode wont send any pdf. I switched item 1 and 2 around and then the reverse happened, my other form was working and showing the pdf in the form success message but not the other one.

Is this something that you could fix? It would really help if so.

Hi,

Yes, indeed. The dynamic dataset was not supported in this case, however, we currently released an update that must add its support. Please update the plugin to the latest RC version: 1.18.36: https://e2pdf.com/support/desk/how-to-update-plugin-to-rc-release-candidate-version-from-e2pdf-com.

After the update, you must be able successfully to use dynamic shortcodes in both forms. Let us know please if it will be any issues.

We remain at your service.

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

That was quick, and yes it works great now!

Also the show and hide actions on the individual pages works a charm, haven't needed the dynamic shortcodes yet but thanks for letting me know they're an option.

I think I found an issue with it still, i use the e2pdf shortcodes in formidable views, and the pdf will only generate in a view that's attach to the form listed as "item #1" again. Nothing happens if its connected to the form listed as "item #2".

Hi,

It's need to modify the shortcode attribute dataset="[id]" to dataset2="[id]" inside "View" for 2nd Item.
