    Update a field in another section from checkbox in a section

    I have a checkbox I need hidden if the end user chooses a value of yes in a dropdown. It sits next to a calculated field that pulls from a secondary connection. I need it visible only when no is chosen. This works fine. When the checkbox is checked and it sits inside its own section, it needs to concatenate data from 3 other fields into one string and set a text field in a hidden section with said value (the calculated value, a datetime field called alwaysNow, and the LoggedInUser text field). It works fine when I drag it out of its own section but doesn't gather the loggedinUser or alwaysNow both in the hidden section. Sorry this is so convoluted. Thanks for any help

    My guess is that there is an error on the condition or in the rule - when the checkbox is in the section, open the rule and check the formula - and re-verify the condition. Feel free to attach a copy of the form to a reply if you need a hand.

    Thank you for the response. I ended up deleting the section and the checkbox and recreating them from scratch and the issue went away on its own after that. Strange behavior to be sure. :-)
