Custom yes/no
July 07, 2008, 01:18:14 pm
When editing a profile which has a list of custom fields  and some of the fields are YES/NO   when editing anyone of them, it automatically defaults to either a yes/no for all the other fields,    is there away for me to keep it blank?

Only if you have selected the custom Yes/No, it defaults to respective value. Other wise no defaults are set.

well the issue still remains, when i edit a number of yes/no questions within the same tab,   it defaults all of them, (or picks anything if default wasn't selected,)

example.. Tab1  has a list of questions 1-10  each one is a yes/no question,   i interviewed the person and has answered 4 out of the 10 questions, when i edit the tab to get to the questions, and i enter the correct responses for the 4 questions.. the remaining 6 get an automatic response, even though i don't know the answer to those questions.

I do not see this behavior actually. I went to http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/ and made a new tab called test and added two fields: a and b. Neither has a default value nor is either required. I then made a new contact and viewed his test tab and neither a nor b had a value.

Then I edited the test tab and selected Yes for a ONLY and submitted. When the page returned, b was set to No by itself.

attached is before and after shots showing this.

This is a bug / feature (more a bug, IMO)

a custom yes/no field is assumed to be either Yes or No. If not marked, we store as No.

obviously not the best solution. But you might want to consider using creating a custom radio field with labels Yes and No. I'd probably use the value of 1 for Yes and 2 for No to get around any potential bugs with 0 and CiviCRM
