Form Field Issues with SuiteCRM 7

👨‍💻 Development Help

Making my first tries with SuiteCRM 7 and Wordpress.

I made a form for Wordpress and styled it.

I noticed that the description field was not multi line and tried to make it work with a text area field, but it seems like the value is dropped. What am I doing wrong?

It doesn’t seem to work. Has anybody a great idea?

Try with the Above Suggestions, it will start Posting the Description Value.

SuiteCRM does not accept raw POSTed fields from WordPress unless:

1. The field name exactly matches the SuiteCRM field name, AND

2. The field type in SuiteCRM is text (not varchar), AND

3. The API endpoint or Web-to-Lead handler allows it.

If ANY of these are wrong, SuiteCRM will silently drop the field, which is what you’re seeing.

Using the SuiteCRM webform is not a good idea. You’ll find out very quickly it a gigantic spam magnet. There is no honeypot or recaptca and you will get thousands of robot entries. Use something like Gravity Forms in WP and then send the contact over via webhook. Or use a plugin that handles this for you.
