Adding/Subtracting Current Value from Form Field
I'd like to change the current values of 12 numerical text fields on the mouseup of a button. I've tried defining variables and saying the variable value equals itself + or - the change, creating a temporary variable and assigning a value to it and systematically changing the values of each, creating functions, etc. Here's my script worksheet with everything I've tried. the last has a document level function. The simple "variable = variable + number" almost works but it only seems to apply the math to the last line and not the other three...lines 17-20 do this...ignore all the note markup when analyzing code, that's only so I didn't have to delete things that didn't work.
What am I missing?

I'm currently developing an electrical schematic that has an output connector with 12 pins. The pins and outputs are not in chronological order from each other, so a feature has been requested to allow the end user to sort by either pin or by output. There isn't a pattern.
Furthermore, the form has 23 outputs that can be grouped in groups of 20. (1-23, 21,43, etc up to 203). For that, I wrote a script to change the value of each field by by creating a variable with a value that adds to the default value as a custom keystroke script.
var out = this.getField("outputs");
var add = 0;
if(out.value == "1-23") {
add = 0;
}
else if(out.value == "21-43") {
add = 20;
}
else if(out.value == "41-63") {
add = 40;
}
else if(out.value == "61-83") {
add = 60;
}
else if(out.value == "81-103") {
add = 80;
}
else if(out.value == "101-123") {
add = 100;
}
else if(out.value == "121-143") {
add = 120;
}
else if(out.value == "141-163") {
add = 140;
}
else if(out.value == "161-183") {
add = 160;
}
else if(out.value == "181-203") {
add = 180;
}
for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
var reg = /.+-opi\d+/;
if(f.name.match(reg)) {
f.value = f.defaultValue + add;
}
}
