Help! I am trying to make a combination of dropdown selections generate a model number.

Question

I have next to know experience with script but here is what I'm trying to do:

I have 2 dropdowns, the first drop down "VOLTS" has a list of options: 115/1, 220/1, 220/3 etc. I have assigned a letter code to each one as an export value: "115/1" = "DT", "220/1" = "DU", "220/3" = "DV"

The second drop down "AMPS" has a list of options also with assigned export value codes: 0.9 to 1.3 = "0913", 1.1 to 1.6 = "1116" etc.

I want a text field to take these export values and create a model number. For example if 115/1 is selected in "VOLTS" and 0.9 to 1.3 is selected in "AMPS" then I want it to generate a model number of DT0913 in a text field.

You can use this script as custom calculation script of text field where you want to show model number:

var d1 = this.getField("VOLTS").valueAsString;
var d2 = this.getField("AMPS").valueAsString;
event.value = d1+d2;

If you have a default value in dropdowns when you don't want to show anything in text field you can add condition to the script, if you don't know how let me know and I will help.
