I'm using Contact Form 7 (v3.2) with Contact Form 7 Modules: Hidden Fields (v1.3.2) to recreate the html code given to me by the web designer who created our site. There are two input types (a select and a textarea) that have names starting with leading zeros. Through trial and error, I figured out that Contact Form 7 does not like leading zeros in the name (if I type [textarea 00NU x3 id:00NU] in the form, the text area will not display on the page, only the code will; if I use the "generate tag" option, leading zeros are stripped from the name field; as soon as I modify the name so it doesn't have a leading zero, the text area will display, e.g. [textarea a00NU x3 id:00NU]).
I need to use those specific names with the leading zeros. Is there anything I can do that will allow me to use leading zeros as the name for an input?
