Remove that script from "RD1RD2" field and put this script under 'Validate' tab of "DropdownAMHL" field:

switch (event.value) {

case "3":
   this.getField("RD1RD2").value = "RD1";
   this.getField("RD3RD4").value = "RD2";
   this.getField("motorpasser").value = "Motorpasser";
   this.getField("RD6RD7").value = "";
break;

case "5":
   this.getField("RD1RD2").value = "RD1\nRD2";
   this.getField("RD3RD4").value = "RD3\nRD4";
   this.getField("motorpasser").value = "Motorpasser";
   this.getField("RD6RD7").value = "";
break;

case "7":
   this.getField("RD1RD2").value = "RD1\nRD2";
   this.getField("RD3RD4").value = "RD3\nRD4";
   this.getField("motorpasser").value = "Motorpasser";
   this.getField("RD6RD7").value = "RD6\nRD7";
break;
}

Well I did try that also before I posted to get help in have another dropdown with another JS where it it also a simple js code where it works but will try without 

 

// Hvis der sker en event i dropdownens værdi
if(event.source&&event.source.name == "DropdownAMHL")
event.value == this.getField("DropdownAMHL").value;

// Hent dropdownens værdi
var dropdown60Value = this.getField("DropdownAMHL").value;

 

I also have another question if I use it on my phone then make an selection from one of the dropdownbox then nothing happens at first but at the second time it show the textfields changes

Is there a script that does that it the background to run js when pdf is open the first time on a phone I have no problem on a laptop I have olso tried to optimise the pdf but that the same

Change this:

event.value == this.getField("DropdownAMHL").value;

To:

event.value = this.getField("DropdownAMHL").value;

 

The last line of your code does nothing.
