    Hi,

    Please see my form 

    http://form.jotformpro.com/form/50924659216965

    When they choose an activity the appropriate times pop up below - this works fine but how do i stop people from selecting start times from lots of different session? IE only the option that is visible when the form get submitted will have the data submitted....

    Any help would be much appreciated

    Thanks

    Graham

    To clear out the selection if the field gets hidden you can use an option in the form builder to help you with that Graham.

    To use it you should open your form to edit it and then click on Preferences

    Once you do that, you should click on Advanced Settings tab and then click on the option: Clear a field on hide.

    Once you do click on Close Settings and Save the form. After that, do make your tests and it should work as expected.

    Do let us know however if you have any questions along the way.

    This feature does not seem to work for the Appointment Slot Widget.  Should this feature work across all fields and widgets?

    @Grahammilton1985 You are welcome and it is great to hear that :)

    @atscomposer Yes, it should work for all widgets, but I see that you already had a thread for the issue where it was not working properly for you on that specific widget: http://www.jotform.com/answers/549046
