In first line of a Bolt form, there is a duplicate 'name='

[gwbonline]

I'm using the newest version of Boltforms. I noticed in the first line of code of the form, the name attribute is mentioned twice. What is the purpose of that? According to a html validator, it is an error and I want to remove it. What file do I need to edit for this?

What does your boltforms.bolt.yml config file look like? I'm not seeing this double name attribute myself.

The config file does contain only once the name of the form and that is 'contact'. But why does the form in the source code contains two times this name? When visiting this url, you can look at the source code:

Hmm. Are you using a custom template? What does your embed twig function look like?

https://bolt.github.io/boltforms/templates.html

The only thing I've changed is the appearance of the message that the recipient receives. And in my templates I call the form with {{ boltforms('contact') }}.

An example of the website is beta.hetfestijn.nl

It's a bug - in line https://github.com/bolt/boltforms/blob/4.2/templates/form/_form_theme.twig#L326 the form renders the form name, and all attributes .. where the name probably is repeated as a key in attr of the form too:

{%- block form_start -%}
    {%- do form.setMethodRendered() -%}
    {% set method = method|upper %}
    {%- if method in ["GET", "POST"] -%}
        {% set form_method = method %}
    {%- else -%}
        {% set form_method = "POST" %}
    {%- endif -%}
    <form name="{{ name }}" 
        method="{{ form_method|lower }}"
        {% if action != '' %} action="{{ action }}"{% endif %}
        {% for attrname, attrvalue in attr %} {{ attrname }}="{{ attrvalue }}"{% endfor %}
        {% if multipart %} enctype="multipart/form-data"{% endif %}>
    {%- if form_method != method -%}
        <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="{{ method }}" />
    {%- endif -%}
{%- endblock form_start -%}

So this part repeats the name:

{% for attrname, attrvalue in attr %} {{ attrname }}="{{ attrvalue }}"{% endfor %}

The quickest fix is probably the fowlling:

• copy the templates directory (with all subdirectories) to your theme directory (I usually copy everything because the templates have a lot of dependencies within this directory)
• change the form configuration to use the templates in your theme (also all of them, as above)
• modify the form_start macro in forms/_form_theme.twig by removing the name="{{ name }}" part:

{%- block form_start -%}
    {%- do form.setMethodRendered() -%}
    {% set method = method|upper %}
    {%- if method in ["GET", "POST"] -%}
        {% set form_method = method %}
    {%- else -%}
        {% set form_method = "POST" %}
    {%- endif -%}
    <form
        method="{{ form_method|lower }}"
        {% if action != '' %} action="{{ action }}"{% endif %}
        {% for attrname, attrvalue in attr %} {{ attrname }}="{{ attrvalue }}"{% endfor %}
        {% if multipart %} enctype="multipart/form-data"{% endif %}>
    {%- if form_method != method -%}
        <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="{{ method }}" />
    {%- endif -%}
{%- endblock form_start -%}

Please double check if this works, because I have not tested this.
