Hidden 'Fields' being submitted on form since update


Since the form update, random ‘fields’ have been submitted within my form content. However there are no additional or added fields within the form, which is strange. I can’t share the read-only link for NDA reasons.

Here is a screenshot of of my form fields & below is the submitted content.

Hope this makes sense, the form was working fine in the past.

Hi there,

Extra numbered fields in form submissions can occur due to several common scenarios in Webflow forms. First, check the Navigator to ensure all form fields are properly configured and visible. Hidden required fields that aren’t properly set up can appear as numbered fields in submissions.

Here are some additional areas to check:

  • Review your form’s field IDs in the Designer to ensure they’re properly named
  • Verify that no duplicate form fields exist in different states or breakpoints
  • Check your form settings to ensure no additional processing or custom attributes are enabled
  • If using custom form actions, review the configuration to ensure it’s not adding extra fields

Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.

All checked, still not working.

I’m running some custom code on the page, required validation etc. but this isn’t interfering at all.

Hey @tomsmith6991 ,

Are you by chance using a multi-step form library? I have seen such errors pop-up in such cases.

Found this thread which might help you out to check if the issue explained there is the reason for the empty fields in your project as well.

Hope this helps.
