Radio Button not updating with url parameters

    Question 1:

    I have a form with radio buttons I'm trying to populate from url parameters:

    https://www.jotform.com/build/201523916144045

    I passed in:

    ?eventprices=Basic%20$2995,Advanced%20$4995,Super%20$6995

    also tried:

    /?eventprices=[{Basic%20$2995:2995},{Advanced%20$4995:4995},{Super%20$6995:6995}]

    The "eventprices" content shows up in a text box (so I know it's reading it ok), but doesn't populate in the radio button values.

    -------

    Question 2:

    How do I pass a name/value for the radio button/checkbox?  Perhaps this is the answer to Question 1.  For example, the displayed radio button text should be "Basic $2995", but the selected value should be "2995".

    I would expect to pass something like: [{Basic $2995:2995},{Advanced $4995:4995},{Super $6995:6995}]

    Question 3:

    A paragraph does not update content with {eventprices} as the guide suggests it should.

    In your sample form, this seems to be working.

    https://form.jotform.com/201523916144045?eventprices=Basic%20$2995

    Hence, you can only select 1 option in a radio button field.

    As for your second question, do you wish to set a calculation value for each option in the radio button field in your form? If yes, then I suggest that you follow the instructions in this guide.

    For your last question, it seems that you are trying to pass the selected value in the Prices field to a Paragraph element in your form.

    If that is the case, I would suggest that you check if you have the correct field name of the field being passed in the Paragraph element.
