Export Empty Fields

[Former Community Member]

Hy all.

I hope I'm writting this in the correct place.

I'm using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 to create a pdf form. Each of the controls in the form are binded to a node in the data connection.

What I want is: if a field is empty, then it should not be exported into the xml. But it seems that I'm missing something because I can not make it work.

What I did was: changed the bind of the field to none.

textbox.bind.match = "none";

Can anyone please let me know how can I implement this or what I'm missing?

Thank you,

You cannot dynamically change the binding property. If the form is rendered and the field is bound then you cannot eliminate it from the data stream unless you run some sort of post submit process to remove the empty nodes.
