Question

Modern Form designer javascript "Other" radio button

Forms Self-Hosted

Updated February 3

asked on January 29

Successfully using a lookup rule to populate a field and using javascript to set a radio button according to that field. However, I can't get it to assign to the "other" option in the list. When inspecting the HTML it is labelled "Other" and am using the exact same js to assign it, but it cannot seem to target the Other option.

Anyone ran into this? This is using self-hosted Forms 11

Let me know if this code from the documentation doesn't work!

https://doc.laserfiche.com/laserfiche.documentation/en-us/Default.htm#../Subsystems/ProcessAutomation/Content/Forms-Current/Javascript-and-CSS/TheLFFormObject.htm#setFieldValues

// Radio button fields expect an object with a "value" property. 
// For example: {value: "Choice 2"}, {value: "_other", otherChoiceValue: "Hi"}

LFForm.setFieldValues({fieldId: 10}, {value: "_other", otherChoiceValue: "Hi"});

Amazing... thanks. In my next life I'll learn to pay closer attention to manufacturer documentation ;)

For context, here's the line that works fine when I put any label on it for the options, but can't seem to get it to select "Other". Have tried _other as well, I stumbled upon that reference somewhere in the depths of the internet.

{LFForm.setFieldValues({fieldId:24}, {value: "Other"});}
