Do you maybe mean that each time a selection is made in the drop-down field it adds a new line to the text field with the selected value?

In that case you can use something like this as the custom validation script of the drop-down field:

this.getField("Text1").value += event.value + "\r";

What have you tried?

I would use a nested if statement or switch statement to determine the item selected and the populate the text field with the desired text including either the Escaped new line code or the Unicode the carriage return.
