At a Glance: The Field Inactive Warning Dialog Box

Illustrations used throughout the help file depict HotDocs Developer and may include features not present in HotDocs User.

When entering answers at the form document tab, you will see the Field Inactive Warning dialog box when you try to enter an answer into a restricted field.

Here you have three options:

  • Override: Choosing Override will allow you to type any answer into the field regardless of the restrictions placed upon it, however this answer will not be saved in the answer file and will not be used in any calculations. After clicking the Override button you will see another warning tab explaining this.

  • Wizard: If the field has an answer wizard attached to it then choosing Wizard opens that answer wizard. From there you can answer the questions necessary to properly create the answer that the restricted field requires. You can also open answer wizards by clicking on the Answer Wizard button next to the field.

  • OK: Choosing OK will close the warning dialog without altering the answer in the answer field.
