Great news! Glad you were able map successfully.
Please elaborate on…“but every time I create a new one I have to go through the same process of once i manually typed the field names in manually, saving the field map and reloading it.
#2: You may accomplish this functionality by using the shortcode in the body of the email with the filename parameter, rather than ‘attaching’ the pdf to the email. The shortcode may be dynamically changed for each entry, offering far more control over the final PDF, than does the automatic attachment function’s global settings.
Global PDF filename may be set using the “PDF file name in e-mails:” option in the field map layout, however, this function is not dynamic for each entry.
The user ID question is one for the Formidable Forms plugin (https://formidablepro.com/help-desk/), but it sounds like the UserID is working correctly, you’ll need to use the UserID shorcode like this if you want to show the username instead of the ID: [125 show=”user_login”].

We remain at your service.
Avoid using special characters other than dashes, underscores, or spaces in the filename.

FYI – We have added dynamic filename functionality to the Field Map Layout. You may now enter Formidable field shortcodes as well as static text into the “PDF file name in e-mails:” text box located just below the “Attach file to Email notifications” option on each field map layout.
Update your plugin to acquire the functionality. We remain at your service.
