////the problem is that when I select the Officer RadioButton, only the RT021 checkbox is marked with "X", when I select the Reenlistment RadioButton, everything annotated is selected as it should, when I select the Enlisted RadioButton, nothing happens, all checkboxes are still empty

all 3 RadioButtons are grouped and I have enetered the script at the group level and not individaul

I believe that I missed something to actually link the script, not sure

here is the script:

---- from1.NJWPage2.RadioButtonList::change: - (JavaScript, client) ----------------------

if (Officer.rawValue == 1)
{
ISC1.rawValue = "1";
TAT1.rawValue = "1";
DD28071.rawValue = "1";
QCRE1.rawValue = "1";
RT021.rawValue = "1";
SOU1.rawValue = "1";
{
else
}
ISC1.rawValue = "0";
TAT1.rawValue = "0";
DD28071.rawValue = "0";
QCRE1.rawValue = "0";
RT021.rawValue = "0";
SOU1.rawValue = "0";
{

if (Enlisted.rawValue == 1)
{
ISC1.rawValue = "1";
TAT1.rawValue = "1";
DD28071.rawValue = "1";
QCRE1.rawValue = "1";
SOU1.rawValue = "1";
}
else
{
ISC1.rawValue = "0";
TAT1.rawValue = "0";
DD28071.rawValue = "0";
QCRE1.rawValue = "0";
SOU1.rawValue = "0";
}

if (Reenlistment.rawValue == 1)
{
ISC1.rawValue = "1";
TAT1.rawValue = "1";
DD28071.rawValue = "1";
DD28081.rawValue = "1";
DD2141.rawValue = "1";
QCRE1.rawValue = "1";
RT071.rawValue = "1";
ENLM1.rawValue = "1";
SOU1.rawValue = "1";
PRIVACYACT1.rawValue = "1";
RELM1.rawValue = "1";
DD41.rawValue = "1";
COMPWRKS1.rawValue = "1";
}
else
{
ISC1.rawValue = "0";
TAT1.rawValue = "0";
DD28071.rawValue = "0";
DD28081.rawValue = "0";
DD2141.rawValue = "0";
QCRE1.rawValue = "0";
RT071.rawValue = "0";
ENLM1.rawValue = "0";
SOU1.rawValue = "0";
PRIVACYACT1.rawValue = "0";
RELM1.rawValue = "0";
DD41.rawValue = "0";
COMPWRKS1.rawValue = "0";
}

Your help is greatly appreciated

Thank You

First, when you post a question you need to provide some context. We don't care one whit what the form is used for, but you do need to tell us how it works. For example, "I have a set of 3 radio buttons, when each button is pressed the values of several check boxes are set and unset. etc...".

Next, I notice that there are three distinct "if" statements that set the same values. These "if" blocks are walking on top of each other. You should have One if block that incorporates all conditions.

Next, the concept behind radio buttons is that they act together as a single control. So in concept, individual radio buttons do not have a value, the group has a value. I don't think you've setup the button values properly. You aught to be using the group name, not the button names in the "if" statements", and the value for each button needs to be different, i.e., "1", "2", "3".

Thom,

Thank you for the reply and sorry for not posting correctly, new guy here

My document does have (3) RadioButtons and about (33) CheckBoxes

I want the user to only select one RadioButton (not a problem here given that LiveCycle automatically controls for me and these RadioButtons act as a single control)

If the user selects RadioButton (Officer), then I want for an "X" in the checkbox to appear on the following CheckBoxes to let the user know that he/she will need these forms
ISC1
TAT1
DD28071
QCRE1
RT021
SOU1

If the user selects RadioButton (Enlisted), then I want for an "X" in the checkbox to appear on the following CheckBoxes to let the user know that he/she will need these forms and at the same time clear out any other "X"
ISC1
TAT1
DD28071
QCRE1
SOU1
RT071
ENLM1

And finally, If the user selects RadioButton (Reenlistment), then I want for an "X" in the checkbox to appear on the following CheckBoxes to let the user know that he/she will need these forms and at the same time clear out any other "X"
ISC1
TAT1
DD28071
DD28081
DD2141
QCRE1
RT071
ENLM1
SOU1
PRIVACYACT1
RELM1
DD41
COMPWRKS1

What exactly do you mean by this statement: "You should have One if block that incorporates all conditions"

I have made some changes, but still not working correctly

Would it be possible for me to send you the document and you take a look at it for me

Your help is greatly appreciated

Thank You

Read this article:

Take a look at the bottom where it discusses "else if"

Accepted Answer

Have you looked in the console window to see if any errors are reported. Please see the link to the video tutorial in my signature block.

There are some obvious errors in the code you posted. You'll need to clear up all the syntax errors before you can debug the code.

Just a quick glance here but shouldn't you be setting the values of your checkboxes to 0 and 1, not "0" and "1" respectively?

The export value of a checkbox/radio button is a string, so that part is correct.
