Clear form remove populated checkboxes

Hello! My PDF is currently set up to auto populate checkboxes when certain check boxes are checked. I am running into issues reseting the form.

 

I want the reset form button to clear all fields AND remove the autopopulated checkboxes. The button I created clears all fields but does not remove the autopopulated checkboxes. It only unchecks them.


Right now I am using: Mouse up - Reset a form 

Can this be done? Thank you in advance for your help!

What do you mean by that? Unchecking a check-box field is the same as clearing it... Do you want the fields to be removed entirely? Or do you mean make them hidden?

Hi Try67.

 

I figured it out. Your response helped me process how to go about solving my problem. I created a mouse up- clear form to uncheck all checkbox fields then did another mouse-up show/hide field to remove any autopopulated checked boxes. Problem solved! Thanks!
