I use LiveCycle off-and-on to make forms and I've seen this issue before. I'm not sure if it's something LC is supposed to do or if I've been doing something wrong all along and didn't know it. The code below is currently applied to the change event of a drop-down box. The idea is simply to have another field change rawValues whenever an option in the drop-down is selected. This works fine upon opening the form.
The problem is that the other field seems to lock up after the form filler has made their selection. For example, if a form filler selects "text3", the result will be "Num3". If the filler made a mistake and then selects "text2", the result will not change from "Num3" to "Num2", it will remain as "Num3". The end result is that if anyone makes a mistake the form has to be closed and reloaded all over again, making them start over from scratch.
I put up with it in the past because my forms were always small one-pagers, but I'm about to make something over multiple pages with a variety of interdependent options. I can't have my users making a mistake halfway through and having to reset the whole thing. Why are the results locking and what can I do to make it stop?
if(this.rawValue = "text1") {PartNum.rawValue = Num1}
else{if(this.rawValue = "text2") {PartNum.rawValue = Num2}
else{if(this.rawValue = "text3") {PartNum.rawValue = Num3}
else{if(this.rawValue = "text4") {PartNum.rawValue = Num4}
else{PartNum.rawValue = ""}}}};
