Now this is the weirdest behavior I've ever seen.. I removed php portion from form, saved (multiple times, quick save, full save), refreshed front-view of form, BUT STILL SEE OLD VARIABLES in debug data 😳
These variables are NOT calculated or saved in this form. I've removed the part of form that was doing this.
any cache is turned off in Joomla.. How is it possible?
To add more craziness I've opened form in "admin" view. aaand there is NO such variables. Just mindblowing..
Variables are stored in the session to preserve the form progress, they are cleared when the form is finished (last page submit) or if your session times out
Admin area is a different session in Joomla, so they will not be there
You can logout on frntend, submit the form to end it or clear the browser cookies to reset them
