[SOLVED] "Nested" Progress possible?

Hi Kyle: I have one progress field tracking account completion (name, phone, etc.) -
I have another progress field where I would like to include the account progress field as one of the selection steps - not to include all of the individual fields, but just the entire account progress as a group.
SO that when Account-Progress is incomplete, that field within "Extra-Progress" shows as red x;
However, as I tried the usual process way, the field is shown as completed - what would I need to do to show / setup it correctly?

Also - this brings me to other topic on displaying the titles within the progress field: is there a way to substitute the titles for various cases? (similar to the value edit) - i.e. fields with more descriptive titles (applicable for edit) are too long for the progress bar display... any idea what can i do here?
thanks!

Update:
hmm.. I thought I came up with pretty smart way around it: the stage is: 2 progress fields - when one is completed, have the other one update one of the fields representing the progress field.
(FYI: this is not a solution - just a test!)

1. created checkbox field
2. created auto action - onafterupdateuser and onafteruserupdate; type=field; condition: if cb_progress_account equal to 100; action: field=cb_progres_field; operator=set (field=value) value=1;

The idea was that if there is a checkbox field (invisible) and after the account profile is completed (progress=100) then auto action would update checkbox to value =1 -> and, since this field is one of the fields in the other progress bar, it should nicely show check mark.

In principle this could (should?) work - however: the second progress field has several checkboxes - after user updates the account - and auto action runs - the values in each of the fields (checkboxes) are set to 0 (at start they are NULL) - that causes the progress bar to display checkmark (as completed) -because it sees 0 as a positive value (?)
This one is little complex and I hope I have explained the case clearly.

=> Update: OUCH... I found post with the bug in checkbox: forge.joomlapolis.com/issues/5862
so Kyle, what's the way around it at this point? use radio instead of checkboxes?

Now I really screwed it up... I tried to change the checkbox to text and update auto action - after that, I tested (update user fields) - and I'm getting now this error everytime I'm trying to save anything in CB user account:

On progress field can not track the progress of another. I highly recommend just adding the fields of both to your second. I've added a feature ticket to see if I can implement support for this though.

Nope, it just uses the regular field label. There's no configuration for this and no plans for such configuration. The same field label is shown in profile view and profile edit so your field labels should be not be location specific.

Multi-Checkbox would probably work with more specific values or yes a radio field.

Now I really screwed it up... I tried to change the checkbox to text and update auto action - after that, I tested (update user fields) - and I'm getting now this error everytime I'm trying to save anything in CB user account:

No idea, disable your auto action and see if that solves it.

Thanks Kyle:
when I was tinkering with the fields, I must have corrupted something within my admin account and couldn't get it back - any other accounts were fine - just this one - without much ado, I just deleted it and created another.

RE: radio buttons or multiple checkboxes: isn't the principle same here? you generate some value ( A or B ) so once value is selected, the field is no more empty - thus the progress bar will fail to register the correct state

No need to worry. Keep your existing checkbox usage. CB Progress Field 3.0.4 should be available early tomorrow at latest. I've fixed checkbox usage and implemented support for chaining progress fields (one progress field can check progress of another).
