Adding custom value

! !@After Googling and experimenting, I came up with the following script to allow custom text for the phone number:

// Allow user data input

if (event.source!=event.target) { !

    event.value = this.getField("Funeral Home").value;

}

// Perform calculation only if a specific field is changed

if (event.source && event.source.name=="Funeral Home") {

    event.value = this.getField("Funeral Home").value;

}

This allows me to make changes to the phone number without it reverting back.

However, this brings up another small problem (I can easily live with it, but if someone has a solution, I would be grateful).

There is a third field that automatically takes the number from the "Funeral Home Phone" field and prints the address in another field, "Funeral Home Address". Once again all is well unless I use a custom written phone number. After I type in a custom address, the "Funeral Home Phone" reverts to the custom text of "Funeral Home". I can go back and retype the custom phone number with !no problem and without the address being changed, but it would be nice if I wouldn't have to worry about it.

Here's the script that I use for "Funeral Home Address":

var a = this.getField("Funeral Home Phone").value;

if (a=="(800) 111-1111") event.value = "F.H. Address: 111 Street Name, City, State Zipcode"; [I changed the actual address and phone number.]

else if (a=="(800) 222-2222") event.value = "F.H. Address: 222 Street Name, City, State Zipcode"; [I have more addresses listed]

else if (a==" ") event.value = "F.H. Address: " [this is the last line in the script]

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Here's a modified version of the pdf file (I changed the names and telephone numbers for privacy reasons).

It sounds like you're using a custom calculation script for the phone number field. Is that right? If so, one way would be to instead use a custom Keystroke script for the dropdown that sets the phone number when the funeral home is selected. The user can then enter anything they want in the phone field.

Another option is to revise the calculation script in the phone number field to allow the user to overwrite the calculated value.

If you want more guidance, it would be helpful if you posted the script you're currently using.
