I have a submissions form set up which is used by a third party to POST data, part of an example of one of their POST requests is below:
1. The ‘POST’ method used by our 3rd party supplier references the submission form element ID’s – below is part of an example POST request:
HTTP raw request is POST http://www.xxxxxxxx.com
Cache-Control: no-cache

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="elements[0xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx][select]"
The elements[0xxxxxxxxx-xxxx etc] refers to a form element on the submission form. If I have to recreate that form (as part of an update process) is it possible to manually edit the element ID?
I ask because we had to pay to set up the POST request function and if the element ID's change we will have to pay another fee.
Thanks.
