Adobe javascript for auto populate dollars field based text cell that user enters name in

[S. Brewer]

Community I am new here and working on a file to benefit opur department.  Google and Youtube have been helpful for somethings, but I cannot seem to locate a basic script for my project.  Basically I have three word/text boxes one (name/TRVL 2 Name), two (dollar amount/TRVL 1 Trans Cost), and three (TRVL 2 Trans Cost) field to copy the dollar amount from word/text box two into.  I only want the dollar amount to appear if TRVL 2 Name box has a name typed in it requardless of length (Bob Brewer, Mike Brewer, Michael Brewer, etc.) and if not then remains blank.

I have tried multiple ways, but I am not proficient in this realm of javascript and as mentioned I cannot find anything that works on my test page.

Thanks for any and all guidance.  Hopefully this can be done and assist other people with the same issue.

So you want to show value from field "TRVL 1 Trans Cost" in field "TRVL 2 Trans Cost" only if field "TRVL 2 Name" is not empty otherwise field "TRVL 2 Trans Cost" is empty?

You can use this in "TRVL 2 Trans Cost" field as custom calculation script:

var Tname = this.getField("TRVL 2 Name").valueAsString;
var Tcost = this.getField("TRVL 1 Trans Cost").value;
if(Tname != "")
event.value = Tcost;
else
event.value = "";
