Adobe PDF Form - show form field based on dropdown selection

Good morning,

 

I have a multi-page document that I am trying to condense. 

 

In one section, we have Course Selection with the following fields:

Course name (drop down)

Start date (date)

Campus (select one of two tick boxes)

Length (type in length of weeks)

 

For one of the courses (Private Lessons), in addition to length (weeks), we will also need total number of hours they would like to enrol. The other courses do not have the option for hours so I only want this to show if they select Private Lessons from the drop down menu. 

 

Is this possible? 

 

Thank you.

    You can use this as 'Validate' script of dropdown:

    this.getField("Hours").display = event.value == "Private Lessons" ? display.visible : display.hidden;

     

    Change "Hours" to your actual field name.
