Can I have a text field have a custom calculation AND still allow a user to enter custom content?

Question

Hi!

I've made a quotation form using Adobe acrobat form editor.

I've set it up with four columns - product, quantity, cost per unit, and total cost.

I've set up the fields so our sales team can select the product from a drop-down (options items) which automatically inserts the cost per unit that I inserted in the export value of the drop-down items.

This works really well - however, sometimes the cost per unit might need to be changed manually and I can't seem to figure out how to set the field to allow the user to enter custom text when needed.

The script I'm using is:

event.value = this.getField('ProductRow1').value;

I'm assuming I'll need to add something to this - but I'm no pro at Javascript and I'm not sure what!

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it's possible, but it can get quite complicated, especially if the calculation depends on multiple fields, and they also have a calculated value. If it doesn't then you can use this:

if (event.source && event.source.name=="ProductRow1")

event.value = this.getField('ProductRow1').value;
