The dash in my field label is being removed when it’s appended to the URL. Is there any way I can get it to leave the dash? I tried some regex but that didn’t work.
URL that I want:
www.example.com?zip-code=12345
URL that I get:
www.example.com?zipcode=12345
Field Label value: zip-code
thanks,
Michael

I got back to Michael in another thread we had going, but in case anyone stumbles upon this one and has a similar issue, here’s the workaround.
Unbounce will force any field names to lowercase and also strip out any punctuation, so in Michael’s case, zip-code, becomes zipcode. You can use a bit of Javascript to force it back though.
Just paste the following code in the Javascripts panel (found near the bottom left of each page):
$('#returl').attr('name', 'retURL');
<br />
$('#zipcode').attr('name', 'zip-code'); <br /> </script>
“zipcode” is what your field name is and “zip-code” in that script is what it will change to when it’s passed as a URL parameter. Just replace those two values with your own field name and what you’d like the parameter name to be if you’re applying it on a different page. It will work for forcing the parameter to have capital letters as well (which some 3rd party applications require).
Thanks Quinn. Works like a charm!

This is nuts that it does this in the first place.
