How do I change the value in one column cell based on what is selected in another cell (dropdown)

Hello,

I am not a coder but I am trying to find out how can I make a form so that when one value is selected in "column A" it will automatically populate a certain value in "column C. Please see attached image. There are two options to choose from in each of the columns, so:

If "option 1" is selected in column A, then "value A" will populate in column C; or

If "option 2" is selected in column A, then "value B" will populate in column C

Thanks ahead for any assistance!

This can be done using a script, but do you still want the other field to be editable by the user? If not, then you don't need to use a drop-down field (although you can). A (read-only) text field will do the job just fine.

Hello,
I tried following the tutorial here: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/change_another_field and it works great and is exactly what I am looking for, but I need to duplicate the same drop down multiple times. I have tried changing the values in the script to something like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. but only the first instance works.
