PDF Function reset the Radio control

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by OvidiuGabor

When i try to export a container to pdf that have a couple of radio controls, all the radio controls are getting unchecked after the running the PDF function..

And i cannot reset the control to the default state, (the default state is checked).

Only solution that i can find for now, is to navigate away from the page, and then came back.

All others controls on the page, stay the same.

Did anyone encounter this issue?

Thank you.

I encountered the same issue. All selected radios went blank after generating PDF. Textinput field values stayed in the form . I wonder if this is a bug?

I know this is many years later, but just had this issue (seems it still isn't fixed!) and only found this thread when searching for answers.

A couple of alternate temporary solutions (other than navigating away and coming back) I've found to work:

Stand alone radio button:

Create a variable (like var_default) that's set to the default value you want selected for the radio button

Set the Default property for the radio button to var_default

After the PDF function executes (and clears the radio button selection):

Set(var_default, Blank())

Reset(radio button control)

Set(var_default, default value from Step 1.)

Radio button(s) in a gallery:

Clear table connected to gallery

Re-collect data into table for that gallery using just Collect function (ClearCollect didn't work for me)

Yes, I believe, this is a known issue with PDF()

Radio controls lose state due to re-rendering

Best fix:

Store selection in a variable

Bind via Default

Restore after PDF

Implement like below:

Step 1: Store selection

Radio.OnChange

Set(varRadioValue, Radio1.Selected.Value)

Step 2: Bind Default

Radio1.Default = varRadioValue

Step 3: Before PDF, preserve state

Set(varRadioValue, Radio1.Selected.Value);

PDF(Container1)

Step 4: After PDF, restore explicitly

Set(varRadioValue, varRadioValue)

This forces rebind
