I was trying to set up a dependant field, where the parent item was a Radio field with the following values:
No
Yes, I will call you
Yes, please call me
In my dependant child field, every time I checked the No "depend on option", everything worked okay. However, if I checked off either Yes option and saved, the boxes would be empty.
Eventually, I realized that the "depend on options" are stored in the database as CSV (comma separated values), and that by selecting value that contained commas, I was breaking the CSV structure and EB couldn't match up the database entries with the values any more.
In the end, I changed my commas to colons instead, but I thought I would make mention of this behaviour as I am sure other users have tried and will try to use commas in their parent field option names, and have / will run into this same issue. Could the values written to the DB be somehow encoded to protect against correct vs incorrect CSV comma delimitation?
