Mandatory key(s) missing from params array: one of (first_name, last_name, email, display_name)

[lyonsdigital]

I feel as if I'm missing the obvious, so I apologize in advance. I have a series of event registration forms that need to go up ASAP, but I'm getting the following error:

Mandatory key(s) missing from params array: one of (first_name, last_name, email, display_name)

I have first and last names as well as email defined but I don't see where display_name should be mapped, or even where it would come from. I assume this the display_name from WordPress, but that's as far as logic will take me. I really need the help and I need it soon. Every other error I encounter has made perfect sense, and I've debugged quite a bit so far, but this is an absolute show stopper.

I was going to make one connected form, but as someone else has noted, there's a problem saving the Caldera Connected Form. I didn't see solution until this morning when I was quite far along.

@lyonsdigital please try to fill in all requested info when filling a bug.

The display name is not mandatory, so assuming you have mapped the form fields correctly I'm not sure what the issue is without having a look at the form configuration, export the form in json format and paste it/upload it here, or upload screenshots.

[lyonsdigital]

Here's the file that your requested. I had to change the file extension to post it. I'm also reviewing my fields. guest-fall-school-export.json.txt

[lyonsdigital]

I reviewed all my inputs and I don't believe that I've missed anything and I continue to get this same result.

[mecachisenros]

Right, this is not an issue with the plugin but your form configuration, from what I can gather it looks like you need to setup conditionals for the Contact processors which might not be processed (i.e. they are optional based on user input/selection), so that they are only used when their mapped fields are filled in (i.e not empty), so set the processor conditionals to only be used when Field Y is _%fieldy%.

[lyonsdigital]

Didn't mean to leave you hanging. That appears to be the fix. I'm moving forward through multiple deadlines. Thank you so much!
