HotDocs Models: unanswered

This expression removes an assigned value from a variable. It is used most often with the set instruction:

set PropertyValue to unanswered

If you use this instruction, do not allow the user to change the answer by asking the variable in the interview. Because HotDocs can potentially reprocess the interview several times, the answer the user enters will always be replaced with the unanswered value. Only use this value if you want a variable to be unanswered in the assembled document.

Do not confuse the value of unanswered with that of not answered. The unanswered expression is an actual value assigned to a variable, while not answered (or !answered) is used to determine whether a value has been assigned.
