Strange bug in email list plugin

[gnavarro]

Hi,

When using in one form:

• multiple groups
• CDD element rendered as multi select drop down with multiple selections when submitted

And when sending emails using the list plugin with the placeholder {CDD element} in the body the results are:

• If CDD with Always Render to 'No':
  • somelabel1//..*..//somelabel2//..*..//...
• If CDD with Always Render to 'YES':
  • ? ? ? ? ?somelabel1
  • ? ? ? ? ?somelabel2
    
  • ...

When the intended is:
? somelabel1
? somelabel2

I've noticed that the number of bullets (?) are being repeated by each form group. So when I unpublished one of the form groups, the {CDD element} repeated less one bullet.

You can verify this in the following list:
http://www.fisiolar.pt/index.php/pt/clientes/contencioso

Click on the 'Pedido de Media??o ERS' email list plugin and than change the email in 'Para' to your email and test the result. You'll see that both {fb_contencioso___tratamentos} and {fb_contencioso___sessoes} are rendering like I just described. Use the FisioLAR site login in my sites.

Am I missing something? Is this a known bug?

Yup, bug. Extremely "corner case" though ... literally only affected checkbox joins and CDD's, when not displayed in a list, with "always render" enabled, used in a list email templated.

Fixed in this commit:

https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik/commit/cd2825a3ae84c614c0451c223358550944c70dae

The other case of getting the //..*..// separated strings when always-render isn't enabled isn't a bug, that's expected behavior. As this is a list plugin, which renders the elements using the list rendering, if the element isn't displayed in the list, and you don't have "always render" enabled, that's what you get - an un-rendered version of the element.
