Cargo and Values from Category
Using remote autocompletion and having the cargo table and field defined, nothing autocompletes from the category. This is a new form/table I am setting up so not sure if it would autocomplete from field values. I have another field that autocompletes from a category but its got less than 20 pages and doesn't need the remote autocomplete. Its the author and character fields in multiple instance templates http://absitomen.com/lexicon/Form:Plot --Cody3647 (talk) 05:40, 1 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I can't see the error because I need to be logged in, and registration is disabled. Could you create an account for me? Yaron Koren (talk) 16:07, 3 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Account created and random password sent to the email on your user page. --Cody3647 (talk) 02:31, 8 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks. What is an example of a value that doesn't show up during the autocompletion? Yaron Koren (talk) 18:55, 8 January 2016 (UTC)


 * The characters field in the character group multiple instance template section. It only brings up names that are already in the cargo table/field instead of getting values from the category.  (I had removed the cargo table/field parameters to get it to work but added them back to that section so you can see it not auto complete based on category values.) --Cody3647 (talk) 01:33, 9 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I think you misunderstood my question - I want an example of a value (i.e., character name) that should show up in autocompletion but doesn't. Yaron Koren (talk) 05:12, 9 January 2016 (UTC)


 * "Kelvin Watkins" Should get pulled but doesn't. --Cody3647 (talk) 06:11, 9 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Ah, yes. I think I just fixed this in the SF code. Yaron Koren (talk) 16:28, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Getting error popup missing dependencies 3.4.1
I'm getting a missing dependencies error popup when trying to edit with form MediaWiki 1.25.5 Semantic MediaWiki 2.3


 * What's the exact error message? And what version of SF are you using? Yaron Koren (talk) 16:07, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Unselected default value keeps returning
Example,

|

I un-check LED, and don't check any other values for that field. I save, everything saves correctly, but when I edit the form, "LED" is there again. I have to uncheck "LED" every edit. Is there any way for SF to remember that this is unselected? And if not, can anyone think of another way to do this? --Frybread (talk) 07:16, 6 January 2016 (UTC)


 * That's strange. What version of SF are you using, and what's the input type? (I'm assuming "checkboxes".) Yaron Koren (talk) 07:20, 6 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Hey Yaron! Thanks for taking time to answer.  If you're interested, I re-created the issue on the SMW sandbox. http://sandbox.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWrules  (click edit, unselect LED, and save - then try editing again. LED will appear as checked.)   Here are links to the form and template and property.--Frybread (talk) 03:01, 8 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes indeed, you found a bug. Sorry about that. I think I just fixed it in the SF code. Yaron Koren (talk) 05:14, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Using a form to edit a specific template
Is it possible to use separate forms to edit the various templates in an article? When I tried doing that, it rearranged the article which is the opposite of what I intended on doing. -- Cy be r XR ef ☎ 17:11, 7 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Are you using "partial forms"? If not, each form needs to include each of the page's templates - unhandled templates should just look like " ". Yaron Koren (talk) 17:58, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Form Errors
After pulling the latest version from git, getting the following error on a form with restricted fields. Fatal error: Call to a member function getEffectiveGroups on null in /home/absitome/public_html/wiki/extensions/SemanticForms/includes/SF_FormField.php on line 317.

Also dropdown fields are not getting values from the allowed values defined by the cargo table declaration. And under the add button for multiple instance templates getting "@insertHTML_Character infobox___wands@"--Cody3647 (talk) 05:17, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The @insertHTML_Form_Name@ is also getting placed into the wikitext --Cody3647 (talk) 06:30, 9 January 2016 (UTC)


 * The first issue was due to some recent refactoring I've been doing - sorry about that. I think I just fixed it in the SF code. I wasn't able to replicate the other three issues, though - where are you seeing those? Yaron Koren (talk) 05:45, 10 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Im using an older version I grabbed from before the refactoring, so its not showing now. But it was showing under the 'Add...' button for every multiple instance template. Random fields (both dropdowns and textfields) were losing the values that they had before clicking show changes and the multiple instance templates that should have been going into a field were going after the main template. --Cody3647 (talk) 23:49, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
