Drop-down selection w/export value sent to another field.

Good afternoon

I managed to create a drop-down menu field called Dropdown1 with a list of user names. Each user name has a value of unique export assigned to them.

I then created a second text called Text1 field where the value of exports is complete. In this area, I've added the following script Adobe to send the value of exports of Dropdown1 successfully to Text1

Event.Value = this.getField("Dropdown1").value;

However, I need allow the user to make manual changes to both Dropdown1 and Text1 without the script of the substitution of manual entry. Is there a solution?

Thank you!

I guess that's a custom calculation script. I think a better approach is to set the value of the text field when the user makes a selection in the drop-down list by using a script customized to the key sequence in the dropdown menu, something like:

Custom keystroke for drop-down list script

If (! event.willCommit) {}

getField("Text1").value = event.changeEx;

}

Don't forget to delete the calculation script if you do this. In addition, it is best that you also set the option "Commit selected value immediately" for the drop-down list.

  • How to fill a field based on a menu drop-down select in another area?

    Here's what I'm trying to do:

    1 field is a drop down selection menu that requires a user make a mandatory selection that is in this case a list of apartment complexes. What I'm trying to accomplish, is once the user makes a selection in the drop-down list (field1) that it will fill the standard box 2 (txt) with the corresponding address of apartment complexes.

    So I seek Talan field 1 apartments, it could fill with Talan apartments address 2 field. I tried messing around with the calculation scripts, but I'm a fight lost here. Little help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    Here's a sample: https://acrobat.com/#d=Hi0ZwVgVB1PWbxc6OJ0z4A where the script to the output of the drop event sets the value of the object of the address.

  • Try using the drop-down selection list but is a different

    Hi all

    ILO, at a loss, what I'm doing wrong here. Trying to change a field (previously in the textfield) a menu drop-down selection list. All works except one. Looks like a multidirectional selector, even if I put the type in the List select

    You set the height = 4 for the element. You're the problem.
    Make the height = 1.

  • linking two fields and fill in the two field based on the list drop-down selection box 1

    I work for a small social service agency VERY small non-profit and I try to get our paperwork until the twentieth century. I hope someone here can help me. I have adobe acrobat, but not of other adobe products. I converted our word document that we use for client notes in fillable pdf format and so far everyone is excited to try it. I have a huge problem that I can't understand. I have a customer named created drop-down list box that contains a list of 300 customers. Box 2 is named customer ID and will contain a unique identification code assigned to each customer.

    For example:

    CUSTOMER ID customer JANE DOE 12345678

    So here is my question how can I ensure that when Unetelle is selected 12345678 is already filled in the second field?

    I fill the drop-down list with the names of customer and then enter the customer ID as the value of exports. Note You must have a unique name for each client.

    If your customer ID starts at zero, then you must use a custom JavaScript, so you can keep the zero non significant.

    For the customer ID field, you can use the following custom JavaScript code:

    Event.Value = this.getField("DropBoxFieldName').valueAsString;

    You will need to change DropBoxFieldName name of the drop-down list.

    You will need a mechanism for updating the new customer form and IDs names.

  • List drop-down selection trigger change in the text field

    I'm hit a roadblock here. I'm on Adobe Acrobat XI and here's the scenario: I have a list box and a text box.

    Drop-down menu field has 3 caps (A, B, C).

    If A is selected, the text box = 15 default, but has the ability to change in the text box.

    If B or C is selected, the text box = 0 or "by default, but it has the ability to change in the text box.

    If I use an if/then with a .value, I'll be able to get the numbers to work, but do not have the ability to edit and keep them there. If I enter another number in another area, the JavaScript code will run and change the text box to 0 or 15.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Instead to use script logic for the text field, use the drop-down validation script. In this way, that it only will be triggered when you change the value in the drop-down list field, not when you change any field in the file (as the calculation script).

  • Change a text based read-only to writable field on Drop Down selection

    I have a drop down list named "Terms of payment", there are three selections "Net 30", "45" Net, and 'Other' if the user selects another there is a text box that is read only format named "OPTDescription" which should be changed to read only write. "  In this text box, the user will describe other terms of payment.

    I tried to reuse the code I received previously for radio buttons, but it doesn't seem to work.  Here is my code:

    CHANGE A FIELD TO ONLY WRITABLE BASED ON MENU DROP DOWN

    var f = this.getField ("OPTDescription");

    {if(Event.Target.Value=="Other")}
    f.ReadOnly = false;
    f.fillColor = color.white;
    } else {}
    f.ReadOnly = true;
    f.fillColor = color.gray;
    }

    Make sure you only check the option to validate the value of the field drop-down immediately (under its properties - Options), and then use the above code as its custom validation script. Just change event.target.value to event.value .

  • Have 'All' in the drop down selection criteria


    I have a selector drop-down list on a dashboard that refreshes the results through a filter section.  The field is REGION. Values are North, South, East, West.  However, I want the default to 'All REGIONS'.  I want the user to have the ability to see the total general from all regions.  I don't know how to handle this at the level of the filter.  Is this possible?  How?

    If your drop looking like that

    ALL REGIONS

    NORTH
    SOUTH
    EAST
    WEST

    An Option is if ALL THE REGIONS is selected you ignore your filter so all parts are selected.

    You can use the SelectedIndex from the Drop Down property to determine which one is selected.

    so rough code...

    if(Dropdown1.SelectedIndex == 1)

    {

    ignore the filter = true

    }

    on the other
    {

    Set the filter

    ignore the filter = false

    }

  • 2 different text fields filled according to Drop down selection list

    Hello

    I am creating a form where a phone number is in a text box, an email address is filled and in another area of text, from a selection in a drop-down list. I use CS3.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    in the event from the drop-down list output put something like (in formcalc):

    If ($.rawValue == 1) then

    Phone number = '12345566. '

    email = "[email protected]".

    ElseIf ($.rawValue == 2) then

    Phone number = "67890".

    email = "[email protected]".

    endif

    (Make sure you have the ' specify values of element checked for the drop-down list object > link ")

  • Drop-down Option menu: first value

    In the drop-down list option.

    status: new entry finished, cancel, assets.

    These option in the User Interface.

    My doubt is,

    If you need of new ways - ' (initial values)

    Entry is complete - need - 'E' (initial values)

    Cancel - 'C' (initial values)

    Enabled - 'A' (initial values).


    These (initial values) are only stored in the database.

    I tried a lot of things. But cant he finished. Please someone help to complete.

    see you said you use a fixed list.

    Why don't create you your own list instead of drag drop an attribute of the data control and create fixed list. (In your case all that you specify is taken as the value label not is why you are getting New)

    You can get to select a choice of component palette item and then select Create list here you can specify item label and the value of the element.
    where your label is New, and the value will be n.

    then all the click submit you get this value and perform an operation. (can be updated in db)

    There are other options as well to create LOV if you do not want to hardcode the page, you can create a separate class and assign values y for your LOV.

  • Is there a way to see the actual fonts in the drop-down "Select a font" of a message window?

    When you select a font for a message in Thunderbird, the only way I can find to see what looks like the police is really change the font of text that I have already written. To try several fonts randomly would be a pure waste of time.

    I use an old version of MS Word, which has the ability to allow the user to see the actual fonts displayed in the font selection drop-down list.

    Is it possible to configure Thunderbird for this?

    The short answer is no.

  • Meta Refresh does not refresh the menu drop-down select options but don't check the boxes... IE works without error (Max FF issue)

    Drop-down list not update even if the html code was changed using the meta refresh tag. The problem has been resolved by deleting the name of the list in the html code in the part of my page refresh. It's a php script, so I can do but with html directly, I don't see a way to solve the problem for others finding this a problem, FF should not do this.

    Example:

    < select name = "page_header_color" >

                 <option >blue</option>
               <option >green</option>
               <option selected >red</option>
               <option >black</option>
               <option >silver</option>
             </select>
    

    whether refresh properly changed to this:

    < select name = "" >

                 <option >-------</option>
             </select>
    

    the script modifies the page preceding between the discount and the 'real' html that resolves this problem, otherwise FF does not update the drop-down lists at all, but it is updated check boxes and everything.

    You must reload and bypass the cache to reset the choices made through selection and from the drop-down list boxes.

    Otherwise the selection are reloaded from the cache, so a meta reload does not work either (can work if you reset the through an onload event).
