Radio Buttons De-Select After Completing Form Fields Using Auto-Comp

The previously selected radio button options instantly clear the minute a form field is completed using the browser built in auto-complete data. If I manually enter the data it's fine but if I select anything from the browsers auto-complete it resets all radio buttons to blank/none selected. This is a real problem on a long form where the user won't notice this until they have attempted to submit the form and get the rejection/incomplete warning.

This is a known issue in Google Chrome v27 and will be getting fixed on their v28 release. This is a browser specific issue. Please see discussion here:

You can use this code in your theme's function.php file to disable autocomplete for one form:
```
add_filter('gform_form_tag', 'form_tag_62', 10, 2);
function form_tag_62($form_tag, $form){
    // apply to form 62 only
    if ($form['id'] == 62 ) {
        $form_tag = preg_replace("|action='|", "autocomplete='off' action='$url", $form_tag);
    }
    // return the form tag whether or not we modified it
    return $form_tag;
}
```
Change the 62 to your form ID. This will add the autocomplete='off' to the form tag. That code worked for me and prevented autofill options from appearing in the browser.
