Allow a blank calculated field to accept a manual entry

[Michael271277510vbu]

Hi there,

I have a dropdown that is built around the name of a store. In the values, I've added the address and phone number for each store, separated by a ";". I then use a custom script to calculate based on those parts. 

However, in the event the store doesn't exist in the dropdown, I would like to have the calculated fields that show "address" and "phone number" to accept a manual entry. Currently, if I allow custom input into the store field, both the "address" and "phone number" fields render "undefined."

I currently have a blank item with no values as the default, but once custom text is entered, the other two calculated fields render "undefined."

For reference, here's how I've coded the "parts":

var clinparts = this.getField("ClinName").valueAsString.split(";");
var clinnamepart = String(clinparts[0]);

var clinaddpart = String(clinparts[1]);
var clinphpart = String(clinparts[2]);

event.value = clinaddpart;

A calculation script is performed each time the user clicks on any field in the document, and it "pulls" the data towards it.

You should use a Validation script or an "On blur" action script from the drop-down list to "push" the data to the text field.

Thus the data filled in the text field will not be overwritten by the calculation script.
