Hi I created a template from an elemtor form
then later needed to add a new field to the form
I used the shortcode to add the field to the form
It does not show on the form
Is it possible that fields created in elementor forms after the template creation are not mapped?
If so Is there a way to do that? otherwise i need to reformat the complete form again after adding a new field.....
thanks

"I used the shortcode to add the field to the form"
that should be
"I used the shortcode to add the new form field to the E2PDF TEMPLATE"

Hello,

If the field was added to the form, added to the E2Pdf Template, and mapped, it must work. Can you please confirm the below statements?

1. You added the field to the Elementor Form.
2. You added the field to the E2Pdf Template in E2Pdf Template Builder via Drag&Drop, and mapped it with "Visual Mapper" / manually with field shortcode but it remains empty in the generated PDF.

If yes, did you map the field via Visual Mapper? Or manual? If manual, recheck please if the correct field shortcode is used or try to remap it with Visual Mapper. If it would not help, attach please a screenshot of the field Properties / Value inside the E2Pdf Template and a screenshot of the Elementor field so we can see the field type, its shortcode, and setup.

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!
