Spinner resets to zero when another spinner is altered

    Asked on January 4, 2016 at 8:39 PM

    I have a simple form that shows the amount of people attending an event. They are divided into Adults and Children. Children must be accompanied by at least one Adult so I have added a condition: IF Adults Is Equal To"0" Insert "0" into Children. However if the number of Children is selected then the number of Adults is changed, the Children field updates to "0"

    How can I stop this from happening?

    Hi,

     

    I can confirm that the spinner for Children does reset to 0 regardless of how many adults are selected.

    One workaround I can suggest is to add a hidden number field and a couple of conditions that stores the value of the Children field that will return that value to the Children spinner if the amount of adults is greater than 0.

    Here are the two conditions that I added.

    As you can see in the GIF below, the Children field does not reset when the amount of adult is greater than 0.

    Here is the link to the cloned form where I have applied the fix: https://form.jotform.com/60042241120938

    You can also clone it to see the conditions that I set. Here is a guide on how to clone a form: How to Clone an Existing Form from a URL

     

    Do inform us if you need further assistance,

    1. I'm not sure what is causing the value to reset back to zero when the adult count is changed to a non-zero value, I'm still investigating the probable causes as to what might be triggering this.

     

    2. The additional field acts a temporary holder for the number of selected children since when the conditions is used directly is overrides the value of the children spinner.

     

    3. Regarding the third question this can be solved by disabling the field but since your reported the disabling option not being acknowledged a ticket has already been opened to address this.

     

    For now my colleagues approach should resolve the issue with the value being reset on the children spinner when the number of adults is changed.

    Hi all, Thanks for your help grade4pagasa. You got the form to work how I intended, I also like your use of the disable spinner. I will use this in the finished form. Thanks to Chriistian for your workaround too, it works perfectly for what I need. I can get the form to work now so the matter is resolved.

    Thanks again for your prompt replies
