Prompt error - for Text Field checker for empty fields

Question

Hi

Would like to ask, I tried using the other solution https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/empty-fields-notification-script-on-a-pdf-form/m-p/10010427 and https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/empty-fields-notification-script-on-a-pdf-form/m-p/10010427 but it seems only the first "Approximate1" text field are being recognized.

on my document, what did i do wrong?
Also, is there a better way around instead of using checkbox as trigger for checking the text field blanks?

Thanks in advanced.

No, you don't have use a check box to trigger the checking script. It could be a button. But if you are going to use a checkbox, then it should have some meaning. Right now it does the same thing whether the box is checked or not.

The error in the script is this line:

var f = this.getField(fields);

The variable "fields" is an array of field names. So to get a specific name the code needs to access a specific index. Like this:

var f = this.getField(fields[i]);

BTW: in this code "f.name" is exactly the same as "fields[i]"
