Index matching with form SOLVED

[Ocasio]

Hello, I am trying to make a field value change based on another field value

var PP = this.getField("Primary Person").value
if( PP = "Person 2" ) event.value = "010101";
else if( PP = "Person 5" ) event.value = "058916";

In this case, I want "010101" to be automatically fill in the field value if the field "Primary Person" is filled with "Person 2", which has a dropdown menu of 5 persons.

Hi, Ocasio

Dropdown fields are a type of combobox, as such you will likely need to use the "getItemAt" method to identify which item is being selected and denote special handling for each item. Please find more details in the Adobe JS API reference, on page 456:

I did try the code on a text field rather than a dropdown box, still not getting the expected results. Could you tell me if the code is wrong?

Hello Ocasio,

Please take a look at the attached sample on how you can make this work:

Kind regards,

Thank you, is very close but not quite what i am looking for

For example, if Dropdown is "Option 1" then Text 2 is "00155"

Its a match table, none of the characters in one field are repeated in the other field

User name | User ID
Maria = 00155
Ralph = 87449
Etc...

Hello Ocasio,

Certainly - here's the modified script showing you how you can push an arbitrary value for the text field (I've only covered the "first" option, and the others I left as they were - to keep my sample showing both options. You can obviously just make checks for each of the values in the drop down, and push the desired value in the text field from it:

Thank you, I modified and it works fine like this.

Code: Select all

if (event.willCommit)
{
if (event.value == "Option 1"){
	this.getField("Text1").value = "01";
	}
	else if (event.value == "Option 2"){
    this.getField("Text1").value = "02";
    }
    else if (event.value == "Option 3"){
      this.getField("Text1").value = "03";
      }
      else if (event.value == "Option 4"){
        this.getField("Text1").value = "04";
        }
        else if (event.value == "Option 5"){
          this.getField("Text1").value = "05";
          }
          else if (event.value == "Option 6"){
            this.getField("Text1").value = "06";
            }
            else if (event.value == "Option 7"){
              this.getField("Text1").value = "07";
              }
              else if (event.value == "Option 8"){
                this.getField("Text1").value = "08";
                }
                else if (event.value == "Option 9"){
                  this.getField("Text1").value = "09";
                  }
                  else if (event.value == "Option 10"){
                    this.getField("Text1").value = "10";
                    }
}
