Hi everyone.

I have a Dropdown menu of different style boxes: "Box1" "Box2" "Box3"

A Text field of customers name: "Customer Name"

A Text field of "Shipping Address"

I would like these three information sources to combine to create a sentence in another Text Box (named "Customer Order") such as:

"Customer Name" would like the gift placed in "Box2" and this to be delivered to "Shipping Address"

I currently have the script below but struggling how to code the CUSTOMER NAME and SHIPPING address part within the sentence, I have tried to show below.

var dropdownValue = this.getField("Box Style").value;

switch (dropdownValue) {
case "Box1":
this.getField("Customer Order").value = "CUSTOMER NAME would like the gift in Box1 and this to be delivered to "SHIPPING ADDRESS ";}

Many thanks

Enter the following custom calculation script in the "Custom Order" field:

event.value=
this.getField("Customer Name").value +
' would like the gift placed in ' +
this.getField("Box Style").value +
' and this to be delivered to ' +
this.getField("Shipping Address").value;

Thanks for your help, works perfect except for some reasong the customers name is displaying on the first line and the rest of the text and options are showing on line 2 rather then all together on a single line?
