So I fill a new add form on Craigslist and saved that as a template. But when I try to apply saved template it misses couple fields, in particular - "users can also contact me:" "By phone" gets clicked but "By text" gets left unclicked. Also street and cross street were saved in the template, but only cross street gets filled.

Could anyone try to replicate it and tell me why it doesn't get filled and how to correct it?

Thanks for any help!

I checked FAQ but none of the 2 solutions described applies to my problem. Name and id value remains the same and there are no dynamically inserted elements on that page.

Perhaps you could try to reproduce my process and see if you could come up with the solution? ID's that are left behind blank are the following 2:

<input name="contact_text_ok" id="contact_text_ok" type="checkbox" tabindex="1" value="1">
<input tabindex="1" id="xstreet0" class="nreq" name="xstreet0" size="20" maxlength="80" value="">

Thanks!

Try these rules:

Type = Checkbox/Radio
Name = ^contact_text_ok$
Value = 1 (or 0 to uncheck)

Type = Text
Name = ^xstreet0$
Value = some text

Hi Alex, if you provide step-by-step instructions, then I will try to reproduce the issue.

It is 13 months later. This issue still persists. The reply "by text" box on the craigslist posting page will not stay selected.
