The following code should act like the Populate Fields extensions, in that it selects a value in a drop down or radio list, and then omits all other choices so that conditional text information blocks can be triggered. For some reason, this script selects the proper choices, omits all other choices, and looks to appear to function correctly, however all conditional blocks of information are displayed instead of just the correct conditional block.

The following is my code, and any help is appreciated!

Code: Select all
