Button displayed among this region's items clears fields

Question

I've created a Button displayed among this region's items clears fields that's in the middle of my form, set to Submit Before...
When click the button, it submits and the field items above the button clear off the form.
I don't need it to submit, I just need it to make three fields appear on the form if needed, hence the use of the button.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The user is cataloging documents. On the form she enters document number, title, owner, and document type (Work Instruction, Verification Sheet, Pallet Layout, etc.) If the document type is a Product Label, there are three more fields that need to be populated. Because the Product Label is one of over ten types and it's the only type that requires these extra fields, I got the bright idea to create a button that, when clicked, displays the fields.
The problem is that the button is 'among the region's items' and submits when clicked (Request = Go) so it submits and clears the fields that have been populated prior to the fields in question.Assuming you are on Apex 4.0+ Instead of using buttons to display 3 extra fields when document type is product label use dynamic action to hide and show items, Here is how you create it
1) Create standard dynamic action
2) Selection type (item) -> item(s) -> :PXX_DOCUMENT_TYPE -> Value (20) Assuming you have created select list for document type field
3) Specify true action -> show -> item(s) (select the three items you want to display) -> create false action (checked)
By using DA your field values will not clear out.If you are on 3.0 you can do this with javaScript.
It would be easier to help you out if you provide APEX version or recreate your problem on apex.oracle.com
