Pdfdocument shows empty formentries with brace

Prevent empty form fields from showing placeholder text in PDF documents.

Overview

In CF v5, unfilled checkbox group fields display their input name placeholder like {formname} in generated PDFs.
Set a ghost value for the checkbox group field in its General tab settings to ensure all entries have a default value, such as a space, which prevents the placeholder from appearing.

hi

Some entries stays emtpy. IAt the pdf document happens that some of the entrie fields are not empty . they are shown in this way {formname}.
i know that is beta . But is their a workaround that the name of the form is not shown if the form isn´t filled out ?

Hi jensfx,

Presumably you mean 'input_name' rather that form name here?

I think that you have to manage that. Which version of ChronoForms are you using?

The simplest way is to make sure that all entries have a value, either by setting 'ghost values' or by checking the submitted data using PHP in a custom code action.

Hi jensfx,

In the Checkbox group settings scroll down to the bottom of the General tab.
