I'm having some trouble with an auto action not firing from the frontend. The auto action I have checks to see if a field is empty or not ( on profile save) and sets another field to 0/1 respectively, and have checked that this does work from the backend. I have attached and image of my settings, I figured that it was a permissions issue but I have tried every user group the user is part of together and individually and still no luck.
Any help with this would be great, thanks.

For frontend and backend usage you should only need to use the following triggers.
onAfterUserUpdate
onAfterUpdateUser
Most likely it's failing at the condition. Please provide what conditions you're using. Also note you can debug an action by enabling debug mode and maximum error reporting in Joomla global configuration. Once done enable debug under the parameters tab of your action.

Thanks for the reply, here are the images for the rest of my settings. Perhaps I have just made a mistake with my condition, I do also have an opposite auto action to this where if the field is Empty it sets the field to 0, same settings just a reversed condition. I enabled debugging and there was nothing that appeared to display any issues.
You need to enable debug mode and maximum error reporting in Joomla as well. This will allow the profile save redirect to be interrupted so debug output can be displayed.
Most likely the condition is failing. Try removing it and see if it works ok. What type of field is cb_question05 as it's sometimes possible for a field to just not be empty.

Just for anyone with a similar issue I have managed to find the very simple solution to this, due to my Empty/Not Empty criteria at least one of the conditions should fail yet the error was not displaying on the frontend. I have a redirect on save and it turns out this was simply an ordering issue where the auto actions were not firing due to being ordered lower.
It's easy to skip the simple things sometimes I guess!
