i have a pdf order form that i would like to use to submit web2lead data to my production org, i have it setup in sandbox and have gotten all fields to submit properly except for recordType which is setup the same way as oid; in a hidden field that submits with the other fields. i have gone through a few other articles such as this success story. where the user places the recordtypeID inside a hidden field. i have also changed the Lead Settings to "Keep the Existing record Type" on advisement of This Salesforce Article.

is there something else i am missing? am i not submitting the form correctly? or am i missing the correct field name? its something small im sure!

Based on your screenshot, it looks like your form isn't coded correctly. The field name is recordType, not recordtype. Always pay attention to capitalization when creating a web-to-lead or web-to-case form.

  • i had to change all form fields to lowercase or they dont submit at all. ive tried recordType as well.

  • @BryanCerrati No, all of the field names must be precisely capitalized or it won't work. Note that, for example, tour_description__c is also not written correctly. You need to use the web-to-lead form generator to get the correct names. Custom fields are typically written with a name/id of 00NXXXXXXXXXXXX (X is a placeholder value here), also case-sensitive.

  • so if i change the field to its generated field name then recordType will work? because they work correctly now.

  • @BryanCerrati If you're not using the generated form, you cannot be assured that anything else will work in the future.
