Need 2 or more custom formats at the same time

Question

I have a date field where I need a certain format for the date but I have a custom format script showing an instruction that will go away once the applicant types text in the field.

For example, I want the applicant to see (MM/DD/YYY) on the text field. If they type in it, then that default instructional text will be replaced. I also want the date format (which is already available in the options) to be applied.

Here is the custom script I have for the default instructional text:

// Custom Format script for text field

if (!event.value) { event.value = "text goes here"; event.target.display = display.noPrint; } else { event.target.display = display.visible; }

Is it possible to have 2 or more custom scripts at the same time?

You actually need 3 scripts to do this.Custom format script:AFDate_FormatEx("mm/dd/yyyy");if (!event.value) {event.value = "MM/DD/YYYY"}Custom Keystroke Script:AFDate_KeystrokeEx("mm/dd/yyyy");Custom calculation script:if(!event.value){event.target.display = display.noPrint;} else {event.target.display = display.visible};

No, you need to do it all in a single script.
