IMPORTANT! This only will be useful if the form has only 1 payment field visible because the counter of the total price will completely reset each time the visible field it's hidden simonb on "How to reset hidden fields?" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/how-to-reset-hidden-fields#post-18258 Mon, 13 May 2013 20:25:18 +0000 simonb 18258@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Yuniar has advised me that the total hidden price values won't calculate when the user hits submit It only calculates all displayed values ( Tested by me and works ) So best case for now is either don't hide fields through logic etc or don't show running total. Email total price is correct if the user hides the fields ( hidden fields are not added in email sent ). simonb on "How to reset hidden fields?" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/how-to-reset-hidden-fields#post-18208 Mon, 06 May 2013 18:31:40 +0000 simonb 18208@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I ask again as I cannot fix this. I am using the Payment with Merchant set to Check/Cash with Variable Amount which I have set for each field. If a field is hidden ( to me at least) it should unload the values ( Or an option supplied in the admin panel to either say "Unload Prices if hidden" OR "Keep Prices if hidden" ) Example:- Click on checkbox in the form ADD MORE GOODS = No Yes User clicks Yes and it displays your hidden fields you want to show if YES is checked ( Using Logic ) It will then open 3 Check boxes which when each is clicked on, adds an amount to your total. If they change their mind and select ADD MORE GOODS = NO - it will hide the field. If the field is hidden by the user the prices in those 3 fields should be subtracted from the total amount as they think that hiding the fields will delete the added goods that they have clicked on. At the moment the values stay wether hidden or visible. So my question is How to unload PAYMENT value when field is HIDDEN if they change their mind. The Payment system as it is just won't work the way it is set now. ( Using hide/show fields ) Can someone let me know of a fix or help in anyway. Great software and the support is fantastic! Gotta thank Yuniar for lightening response to a bug I found in the latest version. Fixed within 24 hours. ( And on a Sunday ) Cheers simonb on "How to reset hidden fields?" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/how-to-reset-hidden-fields#post-18200 Sun, 05 May 2013 13:19:31 +0000 simonb 18200@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I am having this same problem. Is there any way to unload the price if the field is hidden by the user?
