that if your field isn’t changing when you think you should. If you forget to do this hook_form_alter won’t actually alter anything, but it won’t give you any errors either. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">One thing that is either part of the issue, or a separate issue that impacts this, is that the checkboxes field is added via hook_form_alter. I notice that although the field appears in $form_state[values] it does not appear in $form_state[field],
so I'm wondering where $form_state gets the information for the field when rebuilding the form.<o:p></o:p></p>
