[SOLVED] Trouble getting CB Conditional to function

CB 2.0.5
CB Conditionals 4.0.5
J 3.3.6

I’m setting up a new site and need to use conditionals to display or hide certain fields. I have used conditionals on other sites and it has always worked fine, but this time – not so much.

The trigger field will have a drop-down selectable value of 1 to 3 and is used to open from 1 to 3 sets of other fields depending on value selected. In the field sets I have conditionals set to Field conditional others = 1 (or 2, 3). However, under the Then panel, the show/hide fields do exactly the opposite of the title,e.g; Show will actually hide the fields selected and Hide displays fields selected. The same thing happens in the Field Options panel.

The second issue is that the trigger field selections do not function as intended in that no matter what number is selected the field sets do not display or hide as needed. I have tried both conditional self and conditional others and neither way functions.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Scratch that.

The solution was to set each field set to Field condition self, If (select trigger field) >= 1 (or 2,3) Then mode Show. With this setting the fields do display when needed.

After solving the display issue another problem arose.

If several fields in a field set are completed and the user selects the blank area on the drop-down selector, then any completed fields are deleted. If the user hits the Save button then his data will be deleted.

Is there a way to eliminate the blank position at the top of the drop-down selections?

That's value resetting, it's supposed to do that. If you don't use value resetting then your conditions will not behave properly if you chained fields together. You can turn off value resetting within CB Conditional > Parameters by setting Reset to Disable, but I don't recommend it.

As for the blank position the only way to get rid of it is mark the field as Required. Otherwise it's always added for non-required select fields.

Thanks for the explanation. In this case I can't set to Required, so I will have to live with the blank position.

Thanks again!
