Summary

My FormInput widget is not updating a custom field

Hi everyone,

I have extended the input/FormInput widget and i'm trying to use it to update a custom field, but it's not working.

The web form displays the values in the custom menu field as a select box.

It allows me to submit the web form but when i check the contact field using a report the field has not updated.

This is my input/FormInput field widget code:

<rn:widget path="input/FormInput" name="contacts.c$contact_type" required="true" label_input="Who are you enquiring for?"/>
