Default options of radio/select and conditions

  • 1. Create (multistep, two steps) form in the editor
    2. On step 1 use either select field, or a set of radio fields, with at least two options and set it required
    3. Add a Next button below
    4. On step 2 create a field, or group, with a condition that the field in step 1 is equal to the first value in step 1
    5. Add previous and submit buttons
    6. Preview the form, observe that the first value is selected by default.
    7. Press Next button
    8. Observe nothing, except the prev/submit buttons, are shown (expected to see my conditional field/group)

    Go back or Repeat the above, but first select option two, the select option one, press Next and see that the field on step two is now visible as expected.

    I have tried numerous ways to solve this, with no luck. Problem; If the user sees that the correct option is already selected by default, they will not change it (and change it back), but go directly to next step.

    On standard form (not multi) the same thing happen, and that is why I choose multistep, to try getting the default choice “registered” as selected. This is the first time I try this plugin, and I need a conditional for the secondary options.

    Testing with Firefox latest.

    Is there a way to solve this, so I can use this plugin for this small project?

    I made a hacky workaround for this. A added an extra, dummy option, made this initial selected/checked, and hide it with CSS. This is far from perfect, as user can still go to Next without selecting a visible option, but it will not make them think the initial option is ok, since no visible is initially selected, making them actively select something.

    Before the Multi Step or Conditions features can be used, this have to fixed. I would like to give this a five star rating.

    Hey @knutsp

    Sorry for the late response. Are you sure you have not selected the radio option while creating the form as checked? Because the way it should work is to only display the selected option if you have marked one as selected via the Editor.

    I’ve just tested it and for me it seems not to select by default unless I check it from the editor.

    The problem is the opposite, and affects conditional logic only.

    I tried both with and without pre-select in the editor. Point is, if I do not actively select an option (just use what seems or is pre-selected), then the logic will act as nothing was selected. However, if I select option B, than go back to option A (looks the same as initially), then the logic catches it. This i very unintuitive, bot worse, it leads to errors as next (sub) question will not display.

    I tried everything for many hours that day. If not fixed, this is still broken. The hacky workaround works, though.

    @knutsp

    Thanks for the response. I will try to get some time to debug this issue in-depth, will try to create a form as per your instructions, and see for it myself.

    Is there a way you can share the form that you have created?
