Tokens not listed for form values in an action

I was wondering the same thing.

+1 for some help on this - I was wondering the same thing and posted an issue here http://drupal.org/node/994496 , then found this post.

I can see the tokens on the form elements, but can't see them in the action...

might need this, token have just been added http://drupal.org/project/issues/webform_rules

Not sure if this is helpful but have you tried both the Raw and Formatted version of the same fields? If this is pertinent and helps check out this thread: #432518: Tokens are not being replaced with a value in a Rules action for taxonomy term update

This is a feature request, not a bug.

I am having the same problem, please explain how to find what tokens are available.

The $form and $form_state tokens are also missing for rule conditions. In my case, I am trying to doing a textual comparison between form fields at the validation stage of a form submission (using rules_forms). However, this is not possible because the form_state tokens are not available.

For actions and conditions that act on the node after it has been saved, you can work around this by adding a ruleset that loads the node content by nid (see http://drupal.org/node/596230#comment-3638694). However, obviously this doesn't work for form validation, as the node hasn't been saved yet (nor do you want it to be).

Although I'm not really familiar with the Rules or Token API, I did do some digging. It seems to me that in rules_forms_rules_data_type_info (rules_forms.rules.inc) the form and form_state types are declared without an associated "token type" (and so default to "form" and "form_state" respectively - see http://drupalcontrib.org/api/drupal/contributions--rules--rules--rules.a...). Don't we need to define a new token type that maps the values in the form_state array to a series of tokens - just as token does for the "user" or "node" types? Is this already in place, or is it a key piece of architecture that's blocking this feature? Or have I missed something?

NB. The Form ID tokens appear to work well just because there's only a single one-dimensional value, and not an array as for for $form or $form_state.

Any ideas or pointers would really be appreciated. Without this there's really no contrib module that handles form validation outside webforms (I am looking forward to the Field Validation module in d7 though).

Thanks, David

Drupal 6 end-of-life was more than two years ago - there will be no new feature in D6 Rules, and D6 Rules is no longer supported.

That said, this could go into Rules for D7 or D8 if someone is willing to contribute code or fund the development of this feature.
