This is happening in a reasonably complex situation.

Will try to replicate on a clean test installation.

Also: Perhaps RenderFormPlugin should honour the H attribute for fields where it's set in the DataForm topic?

Hi Paul, I've noticed the same problem and after some deeper testing I just found out that the problem only occurs when the form method is set to POST. The GET method works fine. I've checked the post parameters with firebug after submitting the form and noticed that the enctype of the form changed to "multipart/form-data". Maybe that's why some parameters get lost. Supporting the "enctype" attribute as an FormPlugin parameter and setting it to "text/html" maybe solves the problem.

Thanks for the debug Sven! I will try that, but I probably won't get to this for another couple of weeks. So changing this back to Confirmed until actually get back into my own RenderForms app and this bug. Feel free to work on this if you get to it before I do.

Lacking time to work on this.
