Hi Nintext community

I have a format that I created in Nintex Form to record 3D print requirements

but i choose the control : "Choice (render as buttons)" to select what kind of print they want to request (Prototype, Implementation and Catalog ), so in each "choice button" are connected to a control panel with multiple options like: single line text box, more choice controls and calculated values to fill depending of the print request.

My main concern about this form is:

if a user selects option 1, "Prototype" and begins to fill in the required information, but before saving his requirement, select option 3, "CATALOG" and also fill in the information required for that option, and when saving his requirement we have information of 2 different types of requirements, I would like to know (using the same example) if there is a way to  CLEAR  the fields panel that were filled in option 1 "Prototype" at the time of selecting option 3 "CATALOG"

At the moment their isn't a rule to clear the fields. The new responsive designer with the updated engine will bring this functionality, but its not there yet.

 

You could use Javascript, to do this, but I would rate that as difficult for such a minor issue.

 

My recommendation would be to keep your form as is, and add one additional field which would be used as a submission type. This would be your choices in a single dropdown before they submit. Then when they submit, if they chose one, filled it in and then filled in information on another, you could have the workflow delete the other information from the fields that weren't needed.
