I have a pdf form with a pair of radio buttons yes/no. The radio buttons were set as required with “highlight” turned on. The problem I have right now is when one button is checked the other remains highlighted. So my question is how to remove the highlight once the selection is made in the button group. Below are the script codes I have but are not working.
form1.Page1.YesNoCitizen.Yes::exit - (JavaScript, client)
 
if (this.isNull == false)
{
this.mandatory = "disabled";
No.mandatory = "disabled";
}
 
form1.Page1.YesNoCitizen.No::exit - (JavaScript, client)
 
if (this.isNull == false)
{
this.mandatory = "disabled";
Yes.mandatory = "disabled";
}
 
Thanks in advance,
D

Just a guess: this may require the form to be saved as a Dynamic XML form rather than as a Static PDF form.

Did a bit of testing. Couldn't get anything to work using the Exit event.
this.mandatory = "disabled";
in the Change event works on text fields, but not radio buttons or drop-down lists.

It's possible that Designer simply can't/won't do what you want here.
