FRM - 40212 / FRM - 40222 error on a radio group during query

Question

Hi all,
This is my first post so please bear with me if I haven't provided sufficient information or am unclear at all.
I'm using Forms Builder (Web) on a 10g Database. I have a number of database and non-database items as part of a data block.
My problem is that, when I enter a value in any field and click the query button, I get a FRM-40212 Invalid value for field error on my radio group (disabled, non-database item that is programatically populated in the post-query and list-changed triggers only). When I click ok, I get a FRM-40222 Disabled Item Failed Validation error on the same radio group.
This does not happen if I click the 'Enter Query' button before entering values into fields, however I don't want my users to encounter this error if they try to query without clicking on 'Enter Query' first.
I'd like to know why exactly does this error happen - what does it mean?
I've read in other forums that setting the item's Required property to false solves this issue. But how can I do this with a radio group? And if it's not possible, does anyone have any suggestions for other workarounds?
Thanks in advance,
Abigail

Hi,
You can avoid this by setting 'Mapping of other values' to the one fo the radio buttons value.Like if you have to radio button radio1 and radio2 associated with radio group R1 ,then set any radio buttons initial value to this 'Mapping of other values' property of radio button R1.You won't see this error.
This error occurs because your loading a screen without assigning a value to the radio button.
If this helps mark question as answered or helpfull.
Thanks,
Pavan.
