[#46700] - Contact Form Custom Fields
- New
- Medium
- Build: 5.4-dev
- # 46700
Steps to reproduce the issue
Create a field to be displayed on a contact form (set the Mail) context BEFORE creating the new field
In the options tab for the field Automatic Display select After Title
In the permissions tab set Edit Custom Field Value to allowed for the public user
Repeat for two more fields with
Automatic Display select Before Display Content
Automatic Display select After Display Content
Display the contact form in the front end of the site
Expected result
The three new fields are displayed respecting the Display settings
Actual result
All field are displayed at the end of the form as there is no logic in the default_form file https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/5.4-dev/components/com_contact/tmpl/contact/default_form.php to control where the fields are injected
System information (as much as possible)

can someone remove the link to the associated PR as that has been closed
@brianteeman while debugging this issue. This raises two possible situation:
- If the expected behaviour is Mail fields should not follow the "Automatic Display" setting, if that so why the display position option is available for the fields created with the Mail context.
- If the expected behaviour is that Mail field should move according to the automatic display selection , then the necessary logic does not appear to exist.
Can u please clarify which behaviour is expected?
I’ve opened a pull request that addresses this issue by adding logic to
render contact custom fields based on their configured display positions.
PR: #46814
Tested locally using the steps described in the issue and confirmed that
fields render correctly for After Title, Before Display Content, and
After Display Content.
