Change ID and NAME of the html form fields

Hi,

I want to change the ID and NAME of a Marketo form field, this is because we have external forms that have 'standard' names and ids due an integration we have set up. But I couldn't find where to do this, any help please?

Thank you!

Hi Raul,

We have forms created in our CMS

You mean Marketo forms embedded in your CMS or Forms created with your CMS that integrate in the background with Marketo? Or both, and the 2 systems are not using the same field names and ID's?

If my understanding is correct, why is it that you are mixing CMS forms and and Marketo ones?

What is sure is that you will not be able to change Marketo field names / ids. So either you can do it in your CMS, or you will have to write some code to remove Marketo forms, and hide them behind your CMS forms.

Hi Raul,

Not sure I understand what you want to do here. Marketo form fields are in fact Marketo database fields and their name cannot be changed.

Can you provide more explanations about what yo are trying to do?

Hi Greg,

We have an integration with Demandbase, we have forms created in our CMS, Marketo ones, and other source. This integration can pre-fill some fields based on IP, Email domain and the Company name, but to be able to enable this funtionality, all forms must have the same fields (done), but the fields must have the same id, name and values (picklists) so the integration can do it no matter the form who calls it.

Regards,

Raúl
