Hello, is there a way to display the value of the addressee and greeting fields in a profile? Currently when I include those fields, it shows up in like so:

"Addressee:  {contact.first_name}{ }{contact.last_name}"  rather than "Addressee: Joe Smith"

I'd like to give users the option to update their addressee and greeting fields when editing their contact info.

Thanks.

Thanks for the response, Kurund, but I think we're talking about two different things. I'm trying to send a checksum link to a user to update their contact information, so that when they go to the url, they see a form that's already filled in with their existing contact information (name, address, email). I've set up a profile that displays those fields, and the form populates, for example, First Name: [Joe], Last Name: [Smith] and Joe Smith can type over [Joe] to correct it to [Joey] or whatever.

When I include the field Addressee in the profile, it displays in the form as a dropdown menu; the first option is {contact.first_name}{ }{contact.last_name} and the second option is Customized. If you select Customized, a new blank field appears to type in the desired Addressee. Essentially, it behaves like the field does from the admin side. I'm wondering if there's a way to have it populate the form with the value of the field, i.e. {contact.addressee}.

Thanks again.
