so I have this form on the contact page. I’ve set it up with netlify-data-true. As of now it is collecting forms but the csv I get from netlify only has IP addresses and info on who answered and when, not the actual content of the fields
it’s html with just a bit of js for animation on homepage. the form isn’t running on any js, could that be it?

Your form fields are missing a ‘name’ attribute:
<input type="text" name="name" class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlInput1" placeholder="John Doe">
