Hidden Check boxes reset to default state

  1. I am implementing forms that have a lot of conditional logic, the problem is that re-hidden fields retain their values. This is causing other fields that have conditional logic based on those fields to appear where they shouldn't.

    Is there a way so that when fields are hidden their values return to the default state?

  2. Currently that isn't possible. Right now if a value is selected in a field, and then it is hidden, that value is stored because it was selected. But we will look into how to improve the conditional logic in a future release.

    Hello. I'm hoping (well, that's quite an understatement) that over the past few years there has been some sort of resolution or workaround, be it javascript or any other scripting language on the planet (if not, by, golly, let's write one). I really need these selections to clear when reshown and jump back to their original default states. Any ideas will by ~ hugely ~ appreciated. Just point me in the right direction. Been spinning my wheels, here. Thanks in advance!

    At the very least, is there a place I can insert onchange='this.form.submit() for dropdown selections so that each time there is a new selection made to the dropdowns, the form auto-submits? This would help me tremendously. Just make the conditionals a required field and voila, no more issue holding on to previously selected values...
