How do I make not checked fields show up empty in list view?

The field type is multiselect check box

Hmm, this feature only applies to text elements that are marked “readonly” and have a defined default value.

How do you have your multiselect field set up? I am unable to reproduce what you’re seeing. If the record has nothing for that field, the display should be blank.

It used to be blank, but for some reason it behaves strangely.

Have a look

The 4 first records I have processed after the upgrade.

I am talking about fields TS, KS and 3V

The values are I, II, III

Before if there was none of those values checked, the field was blank in list view, as with the records further below.

There was no default value for these field at all. After the upgrade, if there was no I, II or III value, the field displayed YES.

Now I had to put the default value and set it to NO and that is what it displays.

Although, I would want it to be blank.

Hope I explained so that it makes sense…

Eva-Maria,

You’re right…I discovered a bug that will save the data from the previous field in some cases. I have a fix for you, but you’ll have to re-save all the records that were edited since the plugin update.

I’ll be issuing a bug-fix update later today, but you can fix it now…in the admin, go to the plugin editor (Plugins/Editor) and select the Participants Database plugin for editing. The file you want to edit participants-database.php will probably be selected for editing. Find the line (it’s line 1297) that has:

foreach (self::get_column_atts($column_set) as $column_atts) :

right after that, put:

$new_value = false;

Save it and it’s fixed. Now you have to re-save all those records. Very sorry about that!

Thank you for your quick attention!

I updated the plugin, but I still have the same problem. The NO-s appear on the list view.

Also, I have another place on the signup form where they also have a similar multi checkbox, the person has checked two first rows but the third row ended up checked too and I cannot get rid of that check mark. When I remove it and change the record, it keeps coming back…

Would it help if I e-mailed you the login info so that you can look at it?

Thanks, Eva-Maria
