[SOLVED] Set field value depending on other fields

[SOLVED] Set field value depending on other fields was created by travelmonkee123
I have previoulsy posted partially about this, I have three profile types, e.g.:

Male
Female
Alien

I have a reg page like so:

What are you? []Human []Alien
What Gender? []Male []Female

It is setup so the gender question only shows when 'Human' is selected and everything behaves nicely, now I need to find out how to set cb_profiletype based on these two questions to one of the three types. CB Conditionals afaik doesn't let you set a field's value, just whether it is hidden/required.

you should use CB Auto Actions to do this.

Installed CB Auto Actions and tried:

Published: Yes
Type: Field
Triggers: onStartSaveUserRegistration,onBeforeLogin
User: Automatic
Access: Everybody
Conditional: cb_regsecondtype (my gender field) Does Contain Male
Field: Profile Type
Operator: Set
Value: Male

Not working, is there anything I've done wrong?

Triggers: onStartSaveUserRegistration,onBeforeLogin

These triggers probably won't work to alter a user. Use after registration and after login for best results.

Conditional: cb_regsecondtype (my gender field) Does Contain Male

That is not a substitution. Please use [cb_regsecondtype].

I did all that and it didn't work still, turns out you can't use, say 'Awesome Male' as the value to set it to, it has to be the alt; 'awesome-male'.

You have to set it to the exact value that's specified in the field as seen in Field Management while editing the field.
