copying a result from an optionfield to another

Question

Hallo,I am using the following code to transport the result of an optionfield cbox to another named dbox.(received some help by the community, thank you) this.getField("dBox."+(this.getField("dBox").value-1)).value=this.getField("cBox."+(this.getField("cBox").value-1)).value; This only works, when i once click into dbox. Then, when clicking into cbox, the result is transported into dbox. If i do not click once into dbox, the result is not transported. I tested dbox.value = "on" in the script, but that did not help I start the form with nothing clicked. See example attachedall the bestBen

I try to explain:

if i click on cbox, i want dbox to show the same result.

that does not work from the beginning. When i click cbox, nothing happens with dbox.

But: when i once click dbox, than everything works fine. I can click all cbox and the result appears in dbox.

I want it to work without first clicking dbox once..

I thought, the reason is, that the value of dbox is "Off" in the beginning. Therefore I switched it to "On" if its off

Use this code as the Mouse Up script of the cBox fields, then:

this.getField("dBox").value = event.target.value;

Hi You have this script -  event.target.fillColor=this.getField("cBox."+(this.getField("cBox").value-1)).fillColor;c1=this.getField("cBox."+(this.getField("cBox").value-1)).value;c2=this.getField("dBox."+(this.getField("dBox").value-1)).value;event.target.value=10*c1 + c2   No when this form is opened and nothing has been done the value of this.getField("dBox").value is 'Off' and you can't subtract 1 from  a string and get a number that you can use to find the value of a field. You need to add some code in to handle of the checkboxes have not been checked, and decide what you should do in that case. something like  if ( this.getField("cBox").value != "OFF"){event.target.fillColor=this.getField("cBox."+(this.getField("cBox").value-1)).fillColor;c1=this.getField("cBox."+(this.getField("cBox").value-1)).value;} else {c1 = 0;}if ( this.getField("dBox").value != "OFF"){c2=this.getField("dBox."+(this.getField("dBox").value-1)).value;} else {c2 = 0;}event.target.value=10*c1 + c2  as @try67 mentioned below "OFF" should be "Off", I am unable to edit the code.
