I've created a dropdown menu named "Product" with 3 items in this order : "item1", "item2" and "item3".

Wondering if someone can help me with the javascript code that will allow "item2" to be selected.

Thanks

    Still not working 😞  please check the file in the attchement


    JavaScript is case sensitive, it's not "item2" it's "Item 2" including space, and it's not "Type2" it's "Type 2", you need to be very specific, try this:

    if(event.value == "Item 2")
    this.getField("Type").value = "Type 2";

    this.getField("Product").value = "item2";

    Thank you for reply, unfortunaltely it didn't work. 

    FYI, I've created 2 dropdown menu: "Type" and "Product"

    - "Type" has 3 items : "Type1" , "Type2" and "Type3"

    - "Product" has 3 items : "item1", "item2" and "item3"

    I need a javascript code to set the dropdown "Type" value to "Type2" when the "item2" is selceted in "Product".

    You should explain like that in the first post 🙂

    Use this as 'Validate' script of "Product" field:

    if(event.value == "item2")
    this.getField("Type").value = "Type2";
