I am unable to submit a resposne to a question of type Checkbox. I was told previously that to submit to a Checkbox then you just use a semicolon sperated list of values eg:

item one;item two;item three;

But this doesnt seem to be working.

Hi Matt,

Sorry small bug, it's been squashed.

Try:

&values=2:b;c;d|3:one;two


Hope this helps,

Chad

Thats great Chad,

Now how do you submit other fields? since checkbox types can only submit reporting values, I'm not sure how you would go about submitting Other fields. This also goes for the Radio fields since they accept reporting values aswell.

P.S. When I say Other fields I mean radio/check boxes that prompt you for a textbox since the option isnt in the list.

Hi Matt,

Our current API system does not have the ability to set an 'other' value.  If you need to set an 'other' you can create a seperate textbox question and use that as an 'other'.


Hope this helps,

Chad

It doesn't really help as that is going to break any reporting services for that question.

I'll have to work around it.
