Auto populate text field based on input in other field

Hoping to be able to get a text box to populate automatically in an adobe form I created. I would like when a customer puts their initials in box 1 for the text in box 2 to populate in box 3. For example if a customer was to put their initials in box 1, the price listed in box 2 would then populate into box 3. I have gotten close to the formula but have not found a sting that quite works. Thank you!

Hi,

In Box1 add the following line of code as Custom Calculation Script:

if (!event.willCommit)
console.println(!event.value);

{
this.getField("Box2").value;
}

And in Box3 add this line of code as Custom Calculation Script:

var s = this.getField("Box1").value;
var t = this.getField("Box2").value;

if (s=="") event.value = "";

else event.value = t

Post your latest attempt and include where you placed the script, and we can provide some guidance. Will there always be a price in box 2, and if not, what should happen then when initials are in box 1? And what should happen if the user clears box 1?
