Fields Listed That Don't Exist

Report · Jul 19, 2017

I am working a form that has hundreds of fields. Several of these fields fall on Page Templates that are spawned when the user selects a radio button on the first page.

I have added a function that automatically tabs to the next field after 1 character is entered. I noticed this morning that it was no longer working (it did work when I originally added it, and I haven't edited my code at all). Instead of tabbing to the next field, it brings you all the way up to the first page again.

I noticed that the field name appeared to be a duplicate of another field. That's odd, as this particular field name is (well, should be) unique. I organized my fields alphabetically and found that every single field on this page (and others) is listed 4 times. I suspect that is having an effect on my tabbing function.

Now here's my problem: I CAN'T DELETE THEM. I can click on them, but I can't right click on them. I can see them listed on the right hand panel, but choosing one does not highlight anything on the page.

Does this have something to do with the fact that the page is spawned from a template? Is this a known issue? I cannot find any other information pertaining to this anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you!

It sounds like the fields are located on a hidden template page, which is why you can access/edit them.

You will probably need to un-hide the template to delete them.

But there might be a way to sort it out in your code. You need to check the page of each widget. If it's -1, ignore it (that means it's on a hidden template). If it's higher than that, tab to it.
