Field whose option is a space

    Category headings and text are crucial on my long sign-up sheet and PDB has no field type for headings or text. Until the latest update to PDB, I’ve used a work-around with the radio button field type, using a space for the Option. See the “* = required” text on https://caspvt.org/signup.

    As of PDB version 1.9.3.6 I can no longer save a field like this, so I’ve rolled back to 1.9.3.5. Would it be possible to restore the old flexibility for the radio button field type, or better yet, add a text field type?

    P.S. With version 1.9.3.6 we can no longer add or edit ANY field on our form. This is because the Update Fields button no longer works when a field exists within that Field Group whose Option is a space (and all our non-admin Field Groups have at least one such field).

    So we are stuck at version 1.9.3.5. Maybe there’s an altogether different solution? Thanks for considering this.

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention. This is the problem with using workarounds, they are not protected from changes to the code because it’s not expected that a field would be used that way. I’m sorry about that.

    What you can do is use a “null select” option to end up with a radio button with no selections, just put

    null_select::false

    in the options of the radio button field and it will work.

    Thank you so much! Where can I find the documentation of this and similar field options?

    This is covered in a general way in this section:

    Options: dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons
