I am essentially copying what is explained in the Tutorial example for CB Autoactions but with an extra check, since otherwise if a user selects the top (blank) entry for their current their mood (field) CB Activity displays that the "mood is " so I added an extra condition (before the check for the change of variable) to check the new value is not blank.
I display the Mood field in a CB Content module to allow the user to edit it from that page (so I have enabled Ajax on that field.)
The page they are on does have the activity stream showing but as the condition is set to not trigger if they change the field to blank then, if anything, I would have expected if there was any conflict it would happen the other way around?
If they change the field from one value to another value rather than to set it as blank/empty, then it all works fine.
