Cards Form>>Image Choice element>>Accessibility settings: The Auto next feature is not working on the form when the Accessibility settings are enabled

    I made this form today as I was trying to use images as choices.
    Ultimately, I need to calculate a score based on the repose to each question.

    I used two different image pickers.
    The first does not allow calculations as the answers cannot be separated  , additionally , once you get to the end of the widget, it doesn't tell the user to click next.

    The 2nd image picker does not auto advance but does allow for calculated values... is there a way to make it so it doesn't require them to hit NEXT after every question?

    Auto-next works basically on specific fields such as Single Choice, Image Choice, and Star Rating fields.

    You may use the Image Choice element, it has all the functionality like inserting an image, adding calculation logic and the auto next feature:

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Please be noted that the Auto next feature is supported with radio buttons and Drop down options only.

    The feature doesn't work with widgets as they are usually loaded with Iframe and it also doesn't work with functions on the form.

    Please let us know if you have any further questions.

    We are sorry for the confusion created here.

    I see you have one Image Choice widget and Image Choice element. The Image Choice element should work with the Auto-next feature.

    I was able to replicate the issue on my cloned form as well. The issue is due to the Accessibility settings enabled.

    On disabling the Accessibility settings the Image choice element is working as expected:

    Let me escalate this to our backend team. We will keep you updated on the progress of the ticket.

    Until this gets fixed you may disable the Accessibility settings.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Since you are enabling accessibility settings, we are adding some additional features to your form.

    As W3 states: “Changing the setting of any form control or field does not automatically cause a change of context (beyond moving to the next field in tab order), unless the authored unit contains instructions before the control that describe the behavior.“ You can find more about accessibility in web by clicking here.

    Hence, we can not use auto next feature in accessible forms.

    Thanks for informing us with the issue and if you need further assistance, please let us know.
