The latest update (1.6.4.2.) did not seem to address this issue. I still have checkboxes and radio buttons that should be pre-checked, but they are not.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> tollie on "Checkbox is not checked when it should be, but checks itself upon failed submit." https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/checkbox-is-not-checked-when-it-should-be-but-checks-itself-upon-failed-submit#post-57617 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:32:47 +0000 tollie 57617@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Update: Adding in an additional page, before the checkbox, fixed the bug. Nothing else did. Disabling ajax, duplicating the form, etc. I suspect this is some sort of javascript timing issue, but that's a stab in the dark. </p> tollie on "Checkbox is not checked when it should be, but checks itself upon failed submit." https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/checkbox-is-not-checked-when-it-should-be-but-checks-itself-upon-failed-submit#post-57615 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:18:27 +0000 tollie 57615@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Rob. Running the latest versions of both, but for obscurity reasons I'd rather not link directly to the form just yet. I'll try to test it on my own a bit and see if I can reproduce it on a new form similarly configured.</p> <p>FWIW, this is on a lengthy 1 page form. It works as expected on a similar, multi-page form. </p> Rob Harrell on "Checkbox is not checked when it should be, but checks itself upon failed submit." https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/checkbox-is-not-checked-when-it-should-be-but-checks-itself-upon-failed-submit#post-57606 Thu, 03 May 2012 11:35:43 +0000 Rob Harrell 57606@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey Tollie, I was unable to replicate this in my dev site. Do you have a link to your form and are you running the latest version of WP and GF? </p> tollie on "Checkbox is not checked when it should be, but checks itself upon failed submit." https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/checkbox-is-not-checked-when-it-should-be-but-checks-itself-upon-failed-submit#post-57605 Thu, 03 May 2012 11:33:59 +0000 tollie 57605@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there. In the editor, I have a checkbox that is pre-checked, yet, when viewing the form live, it does not default to checked. Oddly - after submitting an incomplete form (and thus reloading) the checkbox DOES default to checked. It sounds odd, but it's repeatable. Animation is enabled and ajax = true, for what that's worth.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> - tollie </p>
