I have a simple form where i toogle if another field can be edited or not (or is visible or not, results in the same).
field “check” has the following HTML Attribute Formula:
@If(Enable=“Edit enabled”; “”; “disabled”)
This pic shows the state after checking “a” and “b”
next picture shows the state after selecting Edit disabled and after saving: (still ok here):
now, after selecting “Edit enabled” and saving again: “a” and “b” are unchecked and the field value of the saved document is empty !!!
This happens to listboxes as well as checkboxes. Instead of using HTML attribute, the same thing happens if the expression is used in the “hide when”-formula of the “check”-field.
Any ideas to avoid this problem? It worked in R5.0.9a, after upgrading we have massive trouble now…

I’ve run into exactly the same problem. I can’t believe this bug! Has Lotus responded to this with a fix? Surely this will mess up a lot of applications!!!
Workaround is to have fields for these fields when they are hidden, so the values aren’t blanked out.

I think the problem may be that you’ve misunderstood what “disabled” means. When an HTML field is given a “disabled” attribute, it is not only disabled for user input, it is also disabled for HTTP submission. If you want the user to keep his paws off of your field, but still need the values to be submitted, then use “readonly” instead of “disabled”.

your problem may be in “allow multiple value” and “multivalue separator” field properties.
I have similiar problem, one list-box field was filed by Agent. When doc was open for reading, it was OK, but when I open doc for edit, field was EMPTY (in properties box and Debugger too!).
Problem (BUG?) was, that Agent fill field with wrong case!
e.g. Agent write “notes”, but value in List-box was “Notes”:“other value”

I belive you need to have “Generate HTML for all fields” ticked on the form containing the listbox for its selected values to show when the document is edited via a web browser.
