Reference_Syntax.commitOn = “select | exit”
Note:
Having a choice list commit data as soon as selections are made may be important in forms that contain non-XFA interactive features, such as Acrobat annotations or hypertext links. People filling out such forms may mistakenly believe that selecting an item from a choice list followed by clicking a non-XFA interactive feature is the same as exiting the checklist. In fact, the check list remains the field in focus.
The selected data is not written to the data model until the field loses focus. This is the recommended setting for choice lists that support multiple selections (open=”multiSelect”).
