Saved forms not displaying correctly

Forms Version 10
Updated August 7, 2017
asked on August 7, 2017

On the recent versions of Forms (10.2.1) is there a good way to persist changes to non-field html? I've seen this, but hoping there's a better answer now.

I have a drop-down with "text below field" that provides instructions based on the choice made. The text is saved in a hidden placeholder field, then moved to the "text below" by javascript, and it's firing correctly whenever the form loads, but not when it's being saved.

I've tested this quite a bit with the preview immediately after submitting the form--getting the event to fire doesn't seem to be the issue; the problem is that the placeholder doesn't have any value when it does. Specifically:

$('.placeholder input').val()

returns undefined.

Hi Scott,

When save form to repository, the form would be transformed to read-only form so there is no "input" element on form. $('.placeholder input') returns nothing.

If it's a single line field, you can use $('.placeholder .ro').text() instead.

And use if ($('[name=IsLocked]').val() == 'True') to check if form is read-only or not.

You can refer to https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/122818/CSS-not-saving-to-laserfiche which is similar issue.

Besides, if you are using field rule to hide the field, make sure it has the "save the data when field hidden" option.
