function wpf_dev_entry_email_data( $fields, $entry, $form_data ) {

   // Only run on my form with ID = 310.
   if ( absint( $form_data[ 'id' ] ) !== 310 ) {
      return $fields;
   }

   foreach ( $fields as $field_id => $field ) {

      if ( empty( $field[ 'value_choice' ] ) ) {
         continue;
      }

      // Default is a dash -, change here to what you need.
      $delimiter = ' : ';

      $fields[ $field_id ][ 'value' ] = $field[ 'value_choice' ] . $delimiter . wpforms_format_amount( $field[ 'amount_raw' ], true );
   }

   return $fields;
}
add_filter( 'wpforms_entry_email_data' , 'wpf_dev_entry_email_data', 10, 3  );

This code snippet will change the Dropdown, Checkbox, and Multiple Choice payment form fields for the form 890 from using the default hyphen to a colon (:).

You’ll need to update the form ID in the snippet to match your form ID. If you’re not sure how to find your form ID, please check out this tutorial.
