Hi there,

I'm trying to create a form that we can use in the field when conducting inspection reports.

I need to have a selection of radio groups that are used for validation, however on the exports to PDF, I would like the value to show as the name of the radio button option selected, rather than it's value that validation uses.

0;Was not found;was_not_found
0;Was found - see item D1;was_found_see_item_d1

In the above example, I would need the validation to make the section D1 visible if the second option is selected, however on the PDF I would like it to say the nicer looking wording "Was found - see item D1" rather than the value of that selection "was_found_see_item_d1". I can get it to output the nicer looking text by doing the below, however this does not allow the element to be used in validation.

0;Was not found;Was not found
0;Was found - see item D1;Was found - see item D1

Does anyone know if this is possible, and how do I achieve this? I am somewhat familiar with creating the custom PDF to export, I am just not familiar enough to know what to use to get the nicer looking wording.

Thank you, your help is greatly appreciated.

Hey,

yeah, it's possible.

If you check the pdf_attachment.php file you'll notice that $data has different indexes: _FF_DATA_TITLE, _FF_DATA_VALUE, _FF_DATA_NAME, _FF_DATA_TYPE....

I'd need to take a look at your pdf_attachment.php file so I can help you. It all depends on how you're outputting the data. It's only one or two additional lines. Basically, all you have to do is check if _FF_DATA_NAME is equal to the name of your element and for that element write out $data[_FF_DATA_TITLE] instead of value.

Get back to me with the info so we can resolve this.

Kind regards,
Darko
