Unexpected Values in a Radio Button Field

asked on June 10, 2020

We have a form with two simple radio button fields and each of them have only two choices: Yes and No.  There are no additional values assigned to the choices and the fields are not in a table or collection.  A recently submitted form has “No,ID” as the value for one of the variables and “No,Moscow” for the other one.  We are trying to determine why the comma plus additional values were added to the choices.  We do have a separate dropdown field in another part of the form that has the assigned value of “Moscow” for one of the choices, but the variable name is different and the two fields are not connected.  There are no fields on the form with “ID” as a value.  What situation would cause a radio button to have more than one value separated by a comma?

What version of Forms are you using? Can you open a support case with your solution provider and provide the exported process and the screenshots/videos to illustrate the issue?

Do you have backend validation disabled for the form?

I was able to reproduce this by removing backend validation (otherwise it gives an error on submission) and changing the HTML "value" attribute of the radio button on the form.

Jim, I once encountered an external vendor that used that trick to delete a required field and submit a form without a key piece of information. There was a problem where a lookup tied to his email had a typo so the lookup to a read-only required field was failing, but rather than reach out about it, just delete the field and submit. That caused some headaches.

Haha that sounds like a perfect solution. I love it.
