Hi everyone,

I have a very annoying problem that I'm hoping to get some help with. I have an order form for customers who can specify the t-shirt sizes they want for each shirt design that we offer. At the end of each of these rows is a reset button that clears the input for that shirt style only.

Its a classic reset button where the specific fields that should clear are defined in the Actions settings.

The problem is that any time we add a new style of shirt to the order form Acrobat automatically adds those new size fields as selected for every other styles' reset button. We have to go through each t-shirt style and deactivate the new fields and it takes about an hour!

Is there any way from preventing this? I have named each reset button uniquely, but this didn't fix anything. :\

I would use a custom JavaScript for each row. You can use the 'this.resetForm(aFields)' to clear the optional array of field names.
var fields = new Array();fields[0] = "P1.OrderForm.Description";fields[1] = "P1.OrderForm.Qty";this.resetForm(fields);

The same fields can be reset using only one line of code:
this.resetForm(["P1.OrderForm.Description","P1.OrderForm.Qty"]);
The scripts will not automatically update as new fields are added, so you would only need to add the script for the row.
