Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.79 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: Form auto fill knows about names, addresses, but when confronted with ()Male ()Female, one has to type it in by hand each time. What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? Built in autofill only knows about text fields, not radio buttons. One must install extensions to push the radio buttons. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 51.0.2704.79 Channel: n/a OS Version: Flash Version: Seen on https://cwbebox.cwb.gov.tw/ebox_formfill/ebox_visFormFill.php

Considering the above issue as a Feature-Request and marking it as untriaged.

I'm not sure there are too many use cases where radio button support in autofill makes sense. Right now we limit the data we autofill to (chrome://settings/Autofill), none of which are super appropriate for a radio button. In your example of Male and Female, this isn't information that Chrome stores. Do you have an example from the real world where you think Autofill for radio buttons would be useful?

You mean chrome://settings/autofill not chrome://settings/Autofill !

Curretly with Version 61.0.3163.100 (Developer Build) built on Debian buster/sid, running on Debian buster/sid (64-bit) the problem remains. The user frustratingly has to click his gender each time over again when submitting the form, as it is a required item. If you think about it, gender rarely changes... it is the most unchanging item of any personal information. Only birthday will change even less. So chrome should remember it. That is from the user's perspective. (From chromium's perspective, I wouldn't want to have to parse for the text "gender".) |
