Check box validation error

  • Howdy. There is but one check box on the entire form and it has stopped working! It’s required, it has a single value – yes – and has to be checked to confirm that the Privacy statement has been read. It has been working for years but now throws a validation error whether checked or not. The last new record was created on 17th May and updated on 5th June. It is on the Approvals tab on the page above. Feel free to create a record

    Many thanks

    What is the validation setting for the checkbox?

    Validation : Required.
    Default : blank
    Sign Up : checked
    Element: checkbox
    Values : yes

    OS is W10 64 using Chrome. also tested with MS Edge and with the box shortcode removed
    Using Tabs and the default PDB signup template
    All software bang up to date
    (Sorry should have been clearer but it was a late night falling asleep in the chair post…)

    OK, that’s correct. At this point I can find no reason why this wouldn’t work. I suggest your try re-saving the field definitions, it might set things right again.

    I changed the field validation to multiselect checkbox, with the one option, and it worked. Changed it back to single check box, it failed the validation. So have left it at multiselect for the time being!

    I have noticed some other behaviour changes. On multiselect/other boxes the ‘other’ field appears next to the main, dropdown, one by default. Before it only appeared if ‘other’ was selected. Clicking into the ‘other’ box automatically selects ‘other’ (and populates it with a lot of guff from autocomplete!).

    As all was ok up to 17th May perhaps a recent update has changed things?

    Best wishes and thanks for your help

    There haven’t been any recent changes to this part of the code, and I’ve tried and failed to duplicate your results, so I’m glad you found a workaround.

    The “other” input stopped being initially hidden a long time ago: I decided it was better UI to have it visible and it was causing an undesirable layout shift when it appeared.
