Summary

In PegaSurvey 7.1 ML2 running on Pega 7.1.5, when the answer for the first question is Yes and the answer is No for second or fourth question, the answer of the first question automatically changes to No. When the radio button beside the options Yes or No is clicked, it behaves correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

1. In PegaSurvey 7.1 ML2, design four questions with the Radio Button control for the question mode:
   The answers for three questions, the first, second, and fourth questions in this case, have Yes or No display options with True or False as their values, respectively.
2. Select the answer for the first question as Yes.
3. Select an answer for the second or fourth question as No.
4. Observe that the answer of the first question changes to No.
5. Click the radio button beside the options, Yes or No.

Root Cause

A defect in Pegasystems' code or rules
Currently Pega does not generate unique IDs for user interface elements.

When a section with radio buttons is included in a Grid Repeat layout, the radio buttons in the inner section always generate the same ID for the "for" attribute when there are multiple rows in the grid. The ID should be unique for each row in the repeating Grid.
