Checkbox field 'reset' function, on change, uncheck until checked again
1
I am trying to simply 'reset' a checkbox field after a form element has been changed.
$('form').on('change', function() // after form elems have been changed
console.log("Form Has Changed after Rate");
setTimeout(function() // relevant area
$('.gfield_checkbox input').attr('checked', false);
, 2000); // end relevant
);
I am simply trying to reset it here, uncheck what was currently there; but allow it to be checked again afterwards. All the current attempts do not allow it to be rechecked or used again.

The unchecking is probably triggering the on.change again. Thus the loop. Try focusing the event listener to wherever the rate field is, instead of the whole form.

Thanks; that makes sense but the on change is most important; I've updated my question

Then you need to find a trigger that will not continually trigger itself.

Usepropinstead ofattr($('.gfield_checkbox input').prop('checked', false);)

Uncheck it only if it is checked
if($('.gfield_checkbox input').is(":checked"))
// If it is checked...
$('.gfield_checkbox input').attr('checked', false);
