1.7 Alpha Order of prompts for Fill-in fields

Submitted by Guest on Sun, 04/08/2013 - 17:25

I have a customer letter with multiple fill-in fields.

The order of the fill in fields that are displayed on the Input Parameters window appears to be random (and certainly not assocated with the order of the fields in the Word document, and certainly not in order by prompt text).

Is there any way to order them?

Humm - parsing out the position sounds complicated, sort by prompt sounds easy - and we just document that if you want controlled ordering you should use prompt labels like:

01 enter the xxx
02 enter the yyy
....
26 enter the zzz

I will add a note to the CSH that says the data is prompted for in random order.
