Using multiple check Boxes or Radio Buttons one at a time to populate a Text Field

Question

I have tried so many solutions, but none seem to work.

I have 5 checkboxes with a single name to make them a group. I have the Export value of each box set to 1 thru 5 respectively. When I check the check box with the export value set to 1, I am trying to get the TextField1 to show the phrase "1-Low" without the quotes of course. If the check box with the export value set to 2 is checked, I am trying to get TextField1 to show "2-Medium" etc... I can change to radio buttons if nessasary.

Check box with export value 1 = TextField1 value = 1-Low

Check box with export value 2 = TextField1 value = 2-Medium

Check box with export value 3 = TextField1 value = 3-High

Check box with export value 4 = TextField1 value = 4-Critical

Check box with export value 5 = TextField1 value = 5-Emergency

If none of the check boxes are checked, the TextField1 would be blank.

Any help would be sure appreciated.

Enter the following script as a custom calculation script in TextField1. Change "Check Box" to the actual check box field name.

var cb=this.getField("Check Box").value;

if(cb==1){event.value="1-Low"} else

if(cb==2){event.value="2-Medium"} else

if(cb==3){event.value="3-High"} else

if(cb==4){event.value="4-Critical"} else

if(cb==5){event.value="5-Emergency"} else

{event.value=""}
