Advanced Form Field Properties
On the Form Field Editor (see "Form Field Editor " on page 215), the Advanced Properties control certain
optional form processing behaviors. You can also specify JavaScript expressions to build dynamic forms similar
to those found elsewhere in the application.
On the Customize Form Fields page, select the Show advanced properties check box to display the advanced
properties in the form field editor.
The Conversion, Value Format, and Display Function options can be used to enable certain form
processing behavior. See "Form Field Conversion Functions" on page 521 and "Form Field Display Formatting
Functions" on page 522.
In the Force Value row, use the Always use initial value on form submit check box to prevent attempts
to override the value set for a field. When this option is set, if a user modifies the field’s value, it reverts to the
specified initial value when the form is submitted. A similar effect can be achieved by using appropriate
validation rules, but selecting this check box is easier. Using this option is recommended for hidden fields,
particularly those related to security, such as role ID or expiration date.
For pre-registered guest accounts, some fields may be completed during pre-registration and some fields may
be left for the guest to complete at registration. You can use the Pre-Registration field to specify whether the
guest’s entry must match the preliminary value provided for a field during pre-registration.
l If a value was not provided for a field when the account was created, choose Field was not pre-
registered from the drop-down list.
l If a preliminary value was provided for the field but the guest’s entered value does not need to match case
or all characters, choose Guest must supply field from the drop-down list. For example, a bulk account
creation might use random usernames, and each visitor’s entry in that field would not need to match
exactly.
l If a preliminary value was provided for the field and the guest’s entered value must match case or all
characters, choose Guest must supply field (match case) from the drop-down list. If the guest’s entry
does not successfully match the preregistered value, the account registration will not succeed. For example,
