ListBox item selection to show/hide (several) other form fields

Question

Salut!I am preparing a form in Acrobat. I have a listbox (e.g., ListBox1) with 10 items (e.g., item1, item2, item3). I would like to show/hide other form fields (that I already created) dynamically according to users selection from the listbox.For example, if user selects "item1" from ListBox1, I will display only form field#1 or if user selects item2 from ListBox1, I will display only form field#2, and so on...  I will be really looking forward for any suggestions/corrections.------PS. I used the following amongst others for my ListBox1:if(event.value !="item1") {this.getField("field1").display = display.visible;this.getField("field2").display = display.hidden;}else if (event.value !="item2"){this.getField("field1").display = display.hidden;this.getField("field2").display = display.visible;}else if.....

In which event did you put this script?The best way to setup a list is to set the "Commit immediate" option and then use the "Custom" Keystroke Event Script on the "Format" tab.Start you script like thisif(event.willCommit){ ... your existing code ...}Use the console to display key values you need to determine whether or not the script is working.Here is an article and a video you'll find usefulhttps://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/js_list_combo_livecycle https://www.pdfscripting.com/public/images/Free_Videos/BeginJS_Console_Alt_mp4.cfm
