Rules - Sending out Email with the custom form fields values

Question

I am using Orchard 1.4.2. I had installed the Custom Form module..created a custom form which has some Enumeration fields and input fields.

Now, I want to create a rule to send out an emil when the form is submitted. The form should have the Values inserted/selected by the user.

I can get the input fields value using Request.Form:TestForm.Firstname.Value, but can't seem to get the Enumeration field ( Drop down) selected value. Tried various options, but nothing works.

Any ideas?

Hi Bertrand, can you please explain a bit more about how to use them? I followed this post : davidhayden.me/blog/rules-tokens-and-form-api-in-orchard-1.3 and tried both Request.Form:TestForm.City.SelectedValue and Content.City.SelectedValue, but still the value doesn't come through.. — NomadTraveler
In 1.5, you can do Content.Fields.TestForm.FirstName.Value. In 1.4.2, you may not have access to all field properties this way. — Bertrand Le Roy
Thanks, Bertrand. Waiting for 1.5 release. Until then, is there anyway I can access the enumeration field selected value? Can easily get input field value but not the enumeration field. — NomadTraveler

In 1.5, you can do Content.Fields.TestForm.FirstName.Value. In 1.4.2, you may not have access to all field properties this way. In the meantime, you would have to write your own token.
