Question

I have a form which for some questions would ask if something was included and if it isn’t to supply a reason.

So I need a radio button which records to the database it’s value like normal which I have setup with a RadioButtonFor and if “No”(false) is selected then a group/list of other radiobuttons will display.

Ofc this is just the ideal solution if this method isn’t feasible then another solution would be to maybe a if statement in the controller so that if that main radiobutton has a value of “Yes”(true) then it would set the values of x, y and z radiobuttons to “No”(false) when it records the form to the database.

These are the 2 ideas I have on how to get the same end result but for the 1st idea I think the easiest way to perform it’s function would be in jquery which I’m fairly new at so would struggle to come up with how to do it

For the 2nd idea it’s 1 not ideal and 2 I’m not sure how I would then reference those radiobuttons/code the if statement to do said task.

Any other ideas would also be welcome but hopefully with help on how to implement them.

Answer 1

Well I figured out the simpliest way to get the controller to sort out the validation which was
if (wd.AppTher == true)
{ wd.AppTherRea = 0; } this is the example for a drop down and for another radiobutton it would be instead of “0” or whatever value u want for the drop down for it to be “false” or if you want/have multiple options with int at the db field type then you just set your N/A or w/e value as the = too, for multiple RB or DDL then just add more in between { and }, wd was the value assigned to represent the table and otherwise a viewmodel value could be used.
