Hi,  
  
  
  
I’ve defined new fields for the lead. When I use that field in an eMail it isn’t resolved to the actual content. I use: {leadfield=situationanforderungen}  
  
  
  
In the same eMail {leadfield=firstname} is working.  
  
  
  
Any ideas?

Hi Rseiber

I just did my own test with this and it appears to work for me!

I created a custom field, added some content to a lead, added that lead to a new list, sent an email with the custom field to that list. Content came through as expected, as you can see here:

What version of mautic are you using? I did this test with V1.0.1

Hi Chad,

I think I use 1.0.1 - not sure where to look for.

Is there any way to check what is going on? It doesn’t work here.

Can you repeat the issue? Meaning - create a new custom field, add content to it to a known lead, and then add that field to the email and send the email to the known lead?

Custom field values are lead-specific, so make sure that you have data in that field for the lead you’re emailing too.
