Hidden Drop Down List and Text Field Won't Allow User Selection/Entry. What to do?

Avatar

Former Community Member

I have a form with four radio buttons, E,F,G, and H. Using subforms and javasript on Calculate, I can get all buttons to reveal the correct hidden subform fields. But, the drop menu and user entry text fields will not allow user interaction/entry. Is there a simple way to make those fields active for user entry? The forms were originally created in LiveCycle Designer 8.2.1

Hi,

Have you checked the access of those fields? If those are readonly then you can make that open.

If (Field1.access == "readOnly")

{

     this.access = "open";

}

Thanks for your response. Where would I put that code in the script menu?

Try that in the change event of the RadioButtons.

I tried it on the change event of the RB list. I tried it on the field itself. I tried it exactly as you scripted. I tried replacing "Field1" with the actual field name "EdgeDetail" as below:

if(EdgeDetail.access == "readOnly"-

{

     this.access = "open";

}

I tried using a drop down list as the hidden field and a text field as the hidden field. Both remain inactive.

I checked the settings of other similar fields in other subforms to be sure all else was set the same. And, they are all equally set.

Could this be an issue caused by the RBList being an invisible field that only presents if one of two options in the hierarchy above it is selected? The form is structured with a two button RBList with the options being

"Acoustical" and "UDSS". If the user chooses "Acoustical", then the invisible RBList containing E, F, G and H reveals. Then, if the user chooses E or F, the hidden fields that are presently not functioning correctly reveal.

Any other suggestions?

Here is a link to the form in case you'd like to see what I've described above.
