Rule not firing on Form Load on Edit Form

[Brian Oster]

I have several rules based on a field called “Status”. Depending on the value it sets certain fields read only and hides elements. It works fine when changing the “Status” field but it is not working on Form Load even though “Form load and field change” is set in [Validate on] in the rule. I have tried “Delay load of DFFS” set all the way up to 2000ms with same result.

Hi,
You must turn on debugging on all rules that interacts with any of the fields in question to see what is actually going on.

Keep in mind that the way rules work in classic DFFS is that if not disabled, all rule actions are reversed if the rule does not match (required fields become optional, hidden fields become visible and so on) – toggle “No reversion in this rule” to avoid this.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Checking “No Reversing of this rule” on all the rules appears to fix the Form Load issue. Thanks for the quick response.
