Need Help | When I hit back in browser, drop down input selection doesn't work

I have a weird issue, and I can not figure out what could be going on. I have a page with a form with two options, an address and a dropdown input with 2 options, ‘assisted living’ and ‘independent living.’

When it’s the first time you visit the url, the form works perfectly, no issues and upon clicking ‘find it’ sends the user to a new page showing the search results (address & property type sent in URL).

From the [search results] page If you then click the back button in the browser, the page loads. and the address input of the form has reset correctly but the dropdown input shows the option the user originally chose but it doesn’t work when you hit the ‘find it’ button.

The find it button won’t trigger the action because it doesn’t have either ‘assisted living’ or ‘independent living’ selected. Even if you click the down button and reselect ‘assisted living’ it will not work. The input triggers the not valid response. There is no way to trigger the form again unless you manually reload the url within the browser.

Upon page load I have tried reset data on the input group, I’ve tried reset data on the entire form group but nothing works. I am stumped.

Does anyone have any idea what could be going on?

Here’s a screen shot of the input settings:

I’m going to one up this problem, as I’m having it too! Any ideas? Did you find a resolution @iamjoshgreen? I’ve tried resetting the group, and also setting the state of the dropdown to the default option, but neither work. Interestingly this is only on desktop (Chrome - haven’t tried other browsers) but not mobile (iOS)

It’s probably a bug and worth submitting a report. But try another browser, and try disabling extensions in Chrome to work out if there’s a conflict.
