Question

Script for Form Field Color Based on Specific Text

I'm working on a form and have a question concerning a few of the fields.

I have a drop-down field that will have 4 options - Urgent Intervention, Intervention, On Watch, and At/Above Benchmark

I'm looking for a script that would change the field color based on which option was selected. I need the field to be red if Urgent Intervention is selected, yellow if Intervention is selected, blue for On Watch, and green for At/Above Benchmark.

I don't know much about scripts, and I've tried to find options, but I can't find anything that works.

Thanks in advance.

You can control either the text color, the background color, or the border color. Can you clarify which you want?

I am referring to background/fill color. Looking through different discussions, I've managed to piece together this:

var vcolor = event.value;

if (vcolor == "Urgent Intervention") {

this.getField('Dropdown5').fillColor = color.red;

}

else if (vcolor == "Intervention") {

this.getField('Dropdown5').fillColor = color.yellow;

}

else if (vcolor == "On Watch") {

this.getField('Dropdown5').fillColor = color.blue;

}

else if (vcolor == "At/Above Benchmark") {

this.getField('Dropdown5').fillColor = color.green;

}

else if (vcolor == "n/a") {

this.getField('Dropdown5').fillColor = color.white;

}

It appears to work how I intended it to, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to go about it. Without having any background on scripts, I just got lucky.

Is that script a custom validation script of the Dropdown5 field?
