Dropdown List How can i take the item name and value export to two separate text fields

Question

I have a dropdown list with Names of people and their assigned ID (for example Jane James with export value 1-223444.

I made a text field and put a custom calculation script
event.value=this.getField("MDNameDropdown").value which works fine

Now how can i do the same but for the Item name in a separate text field, so when i make a selection from the dropdown list it will populate the 2 text fields.

The easiest way to do that is to use event.value under the Validation event of the drop-down, as that would return the selected display value, not the export value. You just need to reverse the logic of your code. So something like this:

this.getField("Text2").value = event.value;
