Creating hidden/visible fields based on one radio group selection

Question

Hello,

We have a document that works already but needs to add some verabage and i cannot edit the exiting document and i am having to recreate it. The current form works this way but I am trying to do a very simple Radio Buttion option and depending on what option they choose, some fields will appear and others will stay hidden. I am attempting to you this code:

{
// Get the selected value from the radio button group
var selectedValue = this.getField("Selection").value;

// Get the field that will be shown/hidden
var textField = this.getField("Payee Name");

// Show or hide the field based on the selected radio button value
if (selectedValue == "Paper Check") {
textField.display = display.visible; // Show the field
} else if (selectedValue == "ACH") {
textField.display = display.hidden; // Hide the field
} else {
// Optionally, hide the field if no selection is made
textField.display = display.hidden;
}

}

But this is not working. I would like to be able to include all fields that would either disappear or be visible into one script to keep things neat. Thanks in advance

That should work as long as the radio button export values are exactly as written. Also, where is this script. If it is in the "Payee Name" field, this.getField("Payee Name") should be change to event.target first and last curly braces should be removed. If "Paper Check" is the only value where the field will be visible you don't need the else if statement. Just use this:

if(this.getField("Selection").value=="Paper Check")

{event.target.display=display.visible}

else

{event.target.display=display.hidden}
