Can you please help me with a script to auto populate Text9 with Text1, Text2, and Text3 on thier own seperate lines?

Then you can use something like this as the custom calculation script of "Text9":

var fields = ["Text1", "Text2", "Text3"];
var values = [];
for (var i in fields) {
	var f = this.getField(fields[i]);
	if (f.valueAsString!="") values.push(f.valueAsString);
}
event.value = values.join("\n");

Make sure Text9 is a multi-line text field and enter the following custom calculation script into it:

var text="";
for(var i=1;i<4;i++)
{
if(this.getField("Text"+i).value)
{
text+=this.getField("Text"+i).value+"\n";
}
}

event.value=text;

Should there be an empty line if the fields are empty?
