CP-14765 - Fix checkbox default values and deleted-option conditions - #81
Merged
Conversation
What Checkbox fields with a default value now save a true/false value instead of the text "true"/"false" when a form is completed. Conditional fields that depend on a checkbox now show and hide correctly, and conditions pointing at an option that was deleted from the template no longer crash form completion. Why Checkbox defaults were stored as plain text, so a checkbox defaulted to "false" was treated as checked by conditional logic — fields tied to it appeared or disappeared backwards. Found while reviewing CP-14012. How to test Create a template with a checkbox that has default value "false" plus a field shown only when that checkbox is checked. Complete a submission: the checkbox value should be stored as false and the conditional field should stay hidden. Then delete an option from a multiple-choice field that another field's condition references and complete again — no error.

What
Checkbox fields with a default value now save a true/false value instead of the text "true"/"false" when a form is completed. Conditional fields that depend on a checkbox now show and hide correctly, and conditions pointing at an option that was deleted from the template no longer crash form completion.
Why
Checkbox defaults were stored as plain text, so a checkbox defaulted to "false" was treated as checked by conditional logic — fields tied to it appeared or disappeared backwards. Found while reviewing CP-14012.
How to test
Create a template with a checkbox that has default value "false" plus a field shown only when that checkbox is checked. Complete a submission: the checkbox value should be stored as false and the conditional field should stay hidden. Then delete an option from a multiple-choice field that another field's condition references and complete again — no error.
