Don't post scripts from ChatGPT 99% they will not work.

You need to explain to us (in details) what you try to achieve?

Hello,

It looks like you’re trying to create a script that will fill the remaining space in a dropdown box with dashes after a selection is made. I noticed a couple of issues with your script that might be causing it not to work as expected.

function fillWithDashes(event) {
    var selectedText = event.value;
    var maxLength = event.target.fieldFullLength; // Use fieldFullLength instead of maxLength
    var remainingSpace = maxLength - selectedText.length;
    var dashes = "-".repeat(remainingSpace);
    var filledText = selectedText + dashes;
    event.value = filledText;
}

this.getField("MyDropdownFieldName").setAction("Validate", "fillWithDashes");

Make sure to replace "MyDropdownFieldName" with the actual name of your dropdown field. Also, note that maxLength property might not exist on the event.target object; instead, you should use fieldFullLength to get the maximum number of characters the field can display.

Remember to define the fillWithDashes function outside of any other function scope so that it’s globally available for the action to call. If you continue to experience issues, ensure that the field’s properties allow for enough characters to display the dashes as intended. Let me know if you need further assistance!
