Is the imput empty?

djtechwise · 2024-12-04T00:52:07.159Z

Having a situation that seems buggy. I have an input looks empty but is does not register as empty until I manually click in the input and type “backspace”. Then it fires the conditionals. There is no space character present. What is being deleted with the “backspace”?

I use a page refresh to clear the inputs in the workflow that shows the group with the inputs (that have the “this input should not be empty” checked) and they seem to be empty because I’m seeing the placeholder text but it’s not firing the conditionals until I click in the field and hit the backspace key.

Anyone have a clue why I’m seeing this behavior or have a way to fire the conditionals without having to manually change the input?

Sharing some screenshots would be nice (conditionnal)

Sorry Sarah, I should have included that I was trying to use the “is valid” operator to fire the “Isn’t clickable” parameter. Apparently, the “is valid” is not a good test for a condition that does not involve data entry. After thinking about it more I have found a workable solution. Instead of using “is valid”, I changed the conditional expression to “'s value isn’t empty”. Seems to work much better for this specific purpose.

Thanks for responding tho. I am finding my way but it’s great to have this forum to work this stuff out. Sorry I have wasted your time. I’ll remember the screen shots next time! -DJ

Inputs are treated as is valid until some value is added or input had been focused…this tripped me up in the past
