When creating face-to-face/seminar notifications is it possible to reference sign-up note custom session fields in later versions of Totara? It doesn't seem possible in 2.9.

To give some context, I have a dietary requirements multi-select sign-up note custom session field (shortname Diet). Adding [session:Diet] has no effect in a v2.9 face-to-face notification email.

Hi Stephen

I can confirm that this doesn't work using a multiselect field type - when I made the field a text field this displayed in the notification  Correction this does work when you add data into the multi select field.

Note this field is per session rather than a per user field - if yiou want to record the user's diet requirements then you want a  custom field in the sign-up note 


The face to Face was extensively redesigned in version 9 with additional place holders and custom fields being available.
