Edit overwrites unchanged fields

    Hi,
    I have a form with pages that are conditional on previous choices.
    In stickylist the edit / update option is active.
    Using Edit deletes all others field entries and only saved the last entered values. It is as all variables are deleted and only the fields shown during the update are saved.
    I’m in despair!
    (PHP version 5.6 – all settings tried – usre loggedin/ajax/duplicates/required – nothing changed).
    Regards,

    Bas

    Hmm. Could you please export your form (Forms -> Import/Export -> Export forms -> Choose your form -> Export) and send it to me at adam@13pixlar.se

    I see the problem. You want to the user to be able to come back and add to the form. The problem with this approach is that Gravity Forms does not work that way. Fields/pages that are hidden with conditional logic will not be saved. That is why the previously entered information is wiped upon re-save.

    Here is a solution. Use checkboxes (or multi select dropdown) instead of single select dropdown. When a checkbox is checked you show that page. This way, when the user returns to open another checkbox, the old checkbox is still checked and that page is shown, and when saved all info is saved.
