the logs aren't really relevant/don't matter I would say. I'm going to need a more specific details/answer here on what is the problem

you mentioned a 3rd-party, another bug, etc. But I don't really get the question at all right now unfortunately. PaymentElement doesn't even show/collect email/name for card payments for example so I'm not clear what you are really doing, which payment method type(s) we are discussing, what you see on your screen, etc.

OK, so I've got a stripe.elements object and am trying to create a payment type element, but pass in default values as options to the email and name fields as in the docs here: https://stripe.com/docs/js/elements_object/create_payment_element#payment_element_create-options-defaultValues

There's an email field and a name field in the form that gets generated, and I can see that the email is prefilled, but the name input is empty.

Sorry can you be clear/crisp about what you see and the exact payment method type you are looking at please?

👋 stepping in as koopajah needs to step away

A screenshot would indeed be helpful here

As noted, some payment method types don't require name / email at all

[late night]

I just realized that the email field may be the Link element

[small cobalt]

So there wouldn't be a field prefilled

Yeah that would make more sense

You can also prefill Link

[late night]

Sorry, am actively debugging and just commented that part

that works

so it looks like the email option was prefilling the Link element

now if I take the email from prefilling the payment, it may do the trick

[small cobalt]

Hmmm not exactly sure what you mean by that last part but let me know if I can help

[late night]

The docs make it sound like email is for the Payment Element though, so you may need to look at that.

[small cobalt]

Which docs?

Certain payment methods do require email

https://stripe.com/docs/js/elements_object/create_payment_element#payment_element_create-options-defaultValues

[small cobalt]

Yeah that is just a general reference

[late night]

I just tried this, to see if I could prefill the name.

const options = {
  defaultValues: {
    billingDetails: {
      name: "Bob"
    }
  }
}
elements.create("payment", options)

It doesn't seem to work

[small cobalt]

Yeah I don't know what "doesn't seem to work" means... I need specifics. Many times Payment Element won't have a name field as only very specific Payment Method Types require name

So if you want to share a screenshot of what you are seeing that might help us get on the same page

[late night]

This is the generated form. I expect to see "Bob" at the Full Name.

[small cobalt]

Okay so that looks like it is potentially a combination of Payment Element and Address Element

As noted -- Payment Element won't require a name here for Card payments

So that is why you don't see anything prefilled when creating your Payment Element

[late night]

maybe the name is for the Address Element

[small cobalt]

Yep

[late night]

I think I still have that underneath

that would make sense

I'm going to spend a few more minutes trying it out, it didn't work first try. I must still be missing something

[small cobalt]

Sounds good

[late night]

Thanks for your help. It's working now. I'll make sure the documentation for the 3rd party lib is updated for how to pass these particular fields as default values.
