Hi. I'm using SF 1.9.1. I have the following: {| class="formtable" ! width=25%|Area Grouping: | {{{field|Area Groups|default=None|show on select=None=>none;North and East Hampshire=>ne_hampshire;West Hampshire=>w_hampshire;South East Hampshire=>se_hampshire}}} |} <div id="none"> {| class="formtable" ! width=10%|Areas: | {{{field|Areas|input type=checkboxes|no autocomplete|property=Area|}}} |} </div> <div id="ne_hampshire"> {| class="formtable" ! width=10%|Areas: | {{{field|Areas|input type=checkboxes|no autocomplete|property=Area|default=Basingstoke & Deane Borough,Hart District,East Hampshire District,Rushmoor District,North and East Hampshire}}} |} </div> <div id="w_hampshire"> {| class="formtable" ! width=10%|Areas: | {{{field|Areas|input type=checkboxes|no autocomplete|property=Area|default=New Forest District,Test Valley,Eastleigh,Winchester City,West Hampshire}}} |} </div> <div id="se_hampshire"> {| class="formtable" ! width=10%|Areas: | {{{field|Areas|input type=checkboxes|no autocomplete|property=Area|default=Havant Borough,Gosport Borough, Fareham Borough,South East Hampshire}}} |} So, for example, if you select "North and East Hampshire", it correctly defaults the areas to the ones specified in the ne_hampshire div. However, it then seems to process the other divs regardless and ends up setting the default= areas for w_hampshire, se_hampshire as well. When you save the form you end up with ALL the default= property values in all the div's set for the area property, not just the ne_hampshire ones. This is obviously a major issue and has caused a massive data integrity headache. Thanks Neill.
I wouldn't call this a major issue - even if those default values get set, you could use #if calls in the template to ignore those values if the right conditions aren't met. I'm changing the severity from "critical" to "enhancement".
Hi Yaron. I guess this will be covered off with the more dynamic forms that have been discussed on the mailing list. Looking forward to that functionality. So enhancement is definitely the right category :) Cheers Neill.
I think this has been fixed in v2.0.6, in that fields that are hidden due to "show on select" now no longer get their contents submitted. I'm marking this as "fixed" - feel free to re-open if not.
Great Yaron. Thanks a lot for that. I will check it out. Cheers Neill.
