Problem when switching between languages and hidden windows???

  • AgilityAssoc.Canada
    Asked on March 2, 2020 at 4:32 PM

    On form 8335413543095, which is now bilingual, I have radio button, one for each language, to open the conditions window, one for each language.

    Thing is, if I am in one language, open the window, then switch languages, the first window remains open and a second window can be open as well. I have tried different conditions but can't prevent this.

    Thank you,
      Robert

    The form you shared can't be found https://www.jotform.com/8335413543095. Could you please provide the active form that shows this problem?

    Thank you!

    HI,

    I missed the last digit, so here is the correct one, 83354135430955

    I'm thinking this may have to be managed with a CSS injection and not a condition like I'm trying...

    The issue with this is that you're using the single choice field and there is no option to deselect the selected option.

    The fields will always be true once it is selected.

    Let me try to check if I can find a work around regarding the single choice selection and hiding your Iframe.

    I will get back to you as soon as I have finished my testing.

    OK, I understand, It needs a reset for this question when the language is changed. This problem may not happen frequently, but if it dose it is very confusing for the user. A complete refresh is required then. Not so bad as they just starting the form.

    A work around would be great... No rush... 

    Thank you... Robert

    Hi Robert, my apologies for the delay.

    Unfortunately, the work around I was working did not go as planned.

    May we know if its possible to change the field from a single choice to a multiple checkbox or add another option in the single choice field?

    I will test further and get back to you.

    Hi,

    Let me look into that option…
    What we are looking for is that the applicant has not option but to view the text in their selected language.

    I think I have a work around that works.

    1) Add a single choice field but without any option. I named this field "test".

    2) Add the condition that if the language is changed set the field value to "test" or empty.

    Example condition: We will use the copy field value.
