Creating a form for people to sign up for an item. I have a check box called "Gold", and I have a description of the line item and a price, say $100 on the form. On the line next to the price is a text box that I want populated as 100 when the check mark is checked. Can this be done and how?

There are various ways you can achieve this with a script.

In the example below, I am using a Custom Calculation script, and I placed the script in the text field where the 100 value should appear into when checkbox "Gold" is checked.

var g = this.getField("Gold");

if (g.value !== "Off") {

event.value = g.value;

} else {

event.value = "";

}

Yes, but should the text field be editable for the user? Also, what should it show when the check-box is not ticked?

It should be blank. It's a sign up sheet. So if they check the box, there's a price associated with that line.

I want it to automatically place the price into the text box:

__ Sign up for dinner. $50. $_______

The __ is a check box. When it's checked I want 50 to appear on the line (there's a text box there)
