Checkbox option values cannot contain spaces. For example if you set your checkbox option to "Black Cat=Black Cat", it will automatically be converted to "Black_Cat=Black Cat" as soon as you tab out of the options property. This is because checkboxes are multi-select. When the form is submitted, space is used as the separator character for the checkbox control's value. Thus a space character cannot be in the value itself as it would be interpreted as a separator.

Comment Property
The Comment property is the easiest way to to provide a text box for the user to type in based on the selection of the last option in your selection control. Check the comment property and specify the number of text lines in the # Rows field. For example, a Product Category dropdown control has choices for Computers, Cell Phones, DVDs, TVs and Other. If Other is selected, you can collect additional information by displaying a comment box. To accomplish this, the designer would list Other as the 5th option, check the comment box and specify the # of rows if more than the default value of 1 is required.

You are not permitted to disable grouping controls such as panels or repeats. However, there is an Enabled property for Sections, each of the columns in a Table and each tab in a Tab control. If "enabled" is set on Tab or Section, controls inside of these group controls would be enabled. Conversely, if the property is unchecked, controls inside of a section or tab would be disabled. This property will make it easier to write Business Rules.
You can enable/disable the selection controls via rules thereby enabling/disabling all the selection control options. It is not possible to enable/disable individual options.
Disabled tabs are still selectable and disabled sections can still be expanded and collapsed. This is as designed. If you are trying to show/hide the contents of a tab/section, use the Visible property.

Another is the showhelp css class that is built into the Tight layout. For example, you can reduce white space even further with the Tight layout so that you have virtually no space between controls by selecting the hide label property on each control. This can be a way to implement a grid type layout as shown in this sample form below.
When controls are this tight together there is no room to display the help icon for controls with help text. Notice that the first row of controls does displays the help icon. This is done by putting the string showhelp into the css class property for each control in the first row. This is a useful way to have help at the top of each column.

If you are using Live Forms in-house, Cascading Style Sheet code that was used in themes applied to forms/flows in previous Live Forms releases, can be added to a newly created style.css file in the frevvo.war file . The context parameter, frevvo.css.url, in the web.xml file must be changed to point to it. |

This property applies only to Submit controls. By default disables the form's submit button until all required fields are filled and contain valid data. See Valid Forms for details of this feature. However, sometimes you may wish to override ' default behavior and allow the user to submit a form even if it is invalid. To do this, uncheck this property.
When "Enable if Valid" is checked and you click on the Submit button in a form that contains invalid data or required fields that are empty, the form will not submit and the invalid fields will be highlighted with an orange background color. The designer can also display a message instructing the user what to do.
This approach is very helpful to users when trying to determine why a form does not submit. Refer to this Invalid Form Notification for the details.
If "Enable if Valid" property is unchecked, you can control the Submit button behavior in a business rule using the Submit.enabled = [true,false] property.
Prefix Property
Custom groups with rules included when dropped back onto the same or another form, will contain a special "Prefix" property. The property will automatically be given a unique value if you drop the group onto the same form 2 or more times. This ensures that the group controls have unique element name. You can view the impact the prefix has on the element names by viewing the form's schema or the control's property panel. Using the prefix property, you can write a separate rule to manipulate the 2nd or greater instance of the custom control. Refer to this documentation for the details.
