    I’ve actually presented this previously but looking for an update to my question… I’m curious to know if we’ll see an update that will allow the insertion of variables into the TO: and Subject: areas of the native send email action. I think this would be immensely valuable to the Mobi development community. I’d rather use the native capabilities of the tool-set versus growing my own (a form)…

    I do thank the Mobi team for it’s great efforts in moving the platform forward.

    Thank you,

    Hi aviator21114,

    UPDATE: We have an open enhancement request but it has not yet been scoped for development. I added another vote to the enhancement.

    Hello Mobi Team…

    Just downloaded 2.5 Curious to know if the variable insertion enhancement made it into the 2.5 final cut? Obviously, I’m reeeealy looking forward to this capability…

    Thanks,

    No it was not scoped for ver 2.5 – did not make the cut.

    Hi Aviator,

    I checked our enhancement list for the upcoming 2.6 version and this enhancement has not been implemented. I can’t say if/when it might be implemented.

    You can use a hidden text box and write the variables into that, then use the text box into the email.

    CincyPlanet,

    Thank you for the prompt reply… I’m not clear however on how this would be implemented? Can you expand? If this is a reasonable workaround I’ll be all over it… 🙂

    Just add a textField to your form, in the color properties use the last one set to 0 to hide it (or use CSS).
    Now set its value to whatever you want, like a variable or a sting of text from other textfields and variables.

    //untested codde
    myVariable = “This is a new string with ” + $(‘#m1-formname-textField1’).val();
    $(‘#m1-formname-textField2’).val(myVariable);

    Use this textfield in your email form like any other.

    Just to clarify…What I’m looking to do is have let’s say two primary fields…. The first field I want to collect an email address that is input into my app data collection screen by the user: mailto:[email protected] The second input field would be a random subject name (could be any text field). I want to be able to place the email address I collect on the input screen mailto:[email protected] into the TO: field of the native send email action form within Mobi. I also want to be able to capture another field on my app input screen and place it in the Subject field of the native send email action within Mobi (iPhone/iPad).

    Is this you’re understanding of my intent and will your suggestion accomplish this?

    I do thank you for taking time to understand my needs and suggest a solution.
