Javascript code / variable for multiple drop downs instead of duplicating code

What are the names of the dropdowns?

You can separate the export values in the dropdown with a separator like this:

A--B--C--D

then split the export value for the result.  You can either create a custom calculation script in each of the text fields that pulls the value of the dropdown like this:

1) event.value=this.getField("Dropdown").value.split("--")[0];

2) event.value=this.getField("Dropdown").value.split("--")[1];//etc.

Or, you can write a custom keystroke script that splits the changeEx value of the dropdown to the text fields like this:

if(!event.willCommit)

{

this.getField("QTY.1.0.0").value = event.changeEx.split("--")[0];

this.getField("Description.1.0.0").value = event.changeEx.split("--")[0];//etc.

}

Enter your scripts prior to creating multiple copies, then aniticipate what the field names will be after creating multiple copes, extract the suffix of the field names into a variable, and add the variable back into the field names in the script.  Using this method allows you to write one script, once, that will be in all the copies and will work in each copy.  Here's some guidance for all of this:

if (event.value=="") {
this.getField("QTY.1.0.0").value = "";
this.etField("Description.1.0.0").value= "";
this.getField("WEIGHT1.0.0").value = "";

} else
this.getField("QTY.1.0.0").value = "";
this.getField("Description.1.0.0").value = "";
this.getField("WEIGHT1.0.0").value = "";
}

This is the code i am using in the drop down. I have to create multiple copies of each drop down. then edit the code between the "" for a long list of items for each drop down. So i am wondering if there is an easier way to do this.
