Is there a script that will duplicate each line of a multi-line form field into another form?

Question

Hello everybody, emergency physician here trying to help our hospital and decrease our nurse workload:

Within the same document, I am currently trying to know if there is a way to copy each single line of a multiline text ("Prescription" field) to another field (1st line to "FADM1", 2nd line to "FADM2", 3rd line to "FADM3", etc. up to FADM8).

For instance:

In the ''Prescription'' field, I would write :

Tylenol xxx

Naproxen xxx

Morphine xxx

And would like for Tylenol xxx to appear as FADM1, Naproxen xxx as FADM2 and morphine xxx as FADM 3, so on and so fort until FADM 8.

Do you know if it is possible via Javascript or another way?

Thanks

JS

The administration time will always be filled by the nurse by hand. I will not add any other field. It is way safer that way than the actual way unfortunately. Is this possible via javascript or another way? I am using a text script generator as well and the ''autotab'' function didnt work

OK, then you can use this code (at your own risk) as the custom Validation script of Text2:

for (var i=1; i<=8; i++) this.getField("FADM"+i).value = "";
var lines = event.value.split("\r");
for (var i=0; i<lines.length; i++) this.getField("FADM"+(i+1)).value = lines[i];

It's possible, but you need to be very careful, especially when it comes to medical information.

What happens if one line is missing and the wrong info is copied to the wrong cell? Or does that not matter?
