After diving into the code, I did find that all post category information is saved, regardless of it's display state (as a result of conditional logic).</p> <p>In the file forms_model.php in the function get_post_fields(), I inserted the following code right before the switch statement to check if the field should be saved or not, and things work fine now.</p> <pre><code>if( RGFormsModel::is_field_hidden($form, $field, array()) ) { break; } switch($field[&quot;type&quot;]){</code></pre> <p>Can you verify is this is a correct solution and if so, include it in the next release?</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Bart </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/values-of-hidden-fields-are-posted#post-3616 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:06:04 +0000 Carl Hancock 3616@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'd have to look at your form setup if you can provide us with a WordPress admin login via our Contact Us form.</p> <p>Conditional fields that aren't displayed are not supposed to have their data saved. Testing locally this was the case, so i'd have to see what you are doing differently with your form setup to determine what is going on. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/values-of-hidden-fields-are-posted#post-3605 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:50:23 +0000 bartv2 3605@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've set up some conditional category select fields:</p> <p>1: Select type A or B</p> <p>show only if type=A: 2: Select category type 1</p> <p>show only if type=B: 3: Select category type 2</p> <p>The user interface works great, but I find that values of hidden category select fields are posted and stored, which can potentially leave 'dirty' information in my database.</p> <p>A scenario to recreate this:</p> <p>- Select type A<br /> - Field 2 is shown, select a category<br /> - Select type B<br /> - Field 2 is hidden, field 3 is shown. Select a category<br /> - Submit the form</p> <p>Now values for both field 1,2 and 3 are submitted and stored.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Bart </p>
