Check Box Value

[Adela D]

I have a form that has been working fine for several months. I was using an
X for the value in the check boxes. We decided we wanted to have the values
be the words that each check box represented, and some of these were grade
levels (K-4, 5-8, K-12, etc.). Now, nothing at all appears for those fields
on the confirmation form. Is it the dash that is the problem? What are the
parameters for values? The other changes on the page seem to be fine.

Thank you.

When a checkbox is not checked, that is its value - an empty string.

Of course, but my problem is that even when the check box is checked, it
returns an empty string. Since only the fields with grade levels do so, I
thought maybe certain characters were not allowed?

Hi Adela,

I don't see anything wrong with the form. Check your settings in FP to make sure that those fields are being returned in the
confirmation.

Under Form Properties | Saved Fields, delete and then re-add the fields.

Will I have to update my confirmation page in any way as well?

Not unless you change form field names.
