Description ibelin123 2021-02-05 07:11:53 UTC
Description:
I created an Input Field Variable "P."

Also there are conditional Variables where
P=="A" then "Apple"
P=="B" then "Banana"
P=="C" then "Citrus"

When you open the attached sample it is already pre-selected to "B" and the conditional variable is already "Banana."

The problem is when you change the input variable "B" into "C" it will not work but the conditional variable will change into "Citrus." When you save the document:

a. in 6.4,  it will change to "C" and the conditional variable will remain as “citrus.” 
b. in 7.1, it will remain as “B” and the conditional variable will return to “banana.”



Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on Input Field already set to "B"
2.Enter a choice "A" or "C"


Actual Results:
1. Input Field will remain "B"

Expected Results:
1. Input Field should change into "A" or "C"


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I see this problem in 6.4, 7.0 and 7.1, but is not a problem in 6.3 and below.

Additional Information:

In 6.4, the input variable will not show “input field” when the View Field Names is ticked.

In 7.1, when the cursor is placed in the beginning of the input variable and you will double click it, it will open the dialog for an input list which was already deleted.

With all, [F9] or Menu/Tools/Update/Update fields, update correctly the values.
Comment 4 ibelin123 2021-02-05 07:53:20 UTC
[F9] for me in 7.1.03 reverts back to the old value. Input Variable is still "B" and the conditional value will return to "Banana."

Also after this commit I have to double-click field to edit it. Before single click was sufficient.

Un-CCing developer, its unclear if we can find the time to look into it at this stage.
