I am trying to have a form field show/hide on 'page 2' when a check box in 'page 1' is checked. Below will only work if on the same page - I have tested with multiple other fields

if (event.target.value === "Off") {

this.getField("LOC ZIP").display = display.hidden;

} else {

this.getField("LOC ZIP").display = display.visible;

}

HELP PLEASE

i used VSC and the code WORKed just fine thats not the problem I was running into but now I just need to remove it fully. Does Adobe have a bug that it holds desperately onto a javascript thats since been removed?

You were already asked "where did you put the script" 6 hours ago from this post.

I put the script as an action on the checkbox. When I deleted the action, the script was deleted too.

However, you can open the JavaScript set of tools and check All JavaScripts.

Is this a mouse up action in the check box? Does the field name in your script match the actual field name, exactly, including spaces and case sensitivity?
