Auto Populate TextField When CheckBox is Checked

Hello.

I'm needing some help. I have figured out how to auto populate when I check box Same As Legal Address. However, when I do not check the box Same As Legal Address, and I have the Legal Address section filled, and when I go to the Remit Address section, when I type something and click on another text field, it disappears. This is my java script that I'm using in Text 19 in properties

event.value = this.getField("Text12").value;
if (this.getField("SALA").value =="Off")event.value="";

I think my issue is with this part at the end... event.value=""; because when I typed in event.value="Some Value"; it actually put the that in the Text 19.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Sorry, I misspelled the “if”.

Place this script as a Mouse up action in the checkbox:

If (event.target.value != "Off") {
	this.getField("Text 19").value = this.getField("Text 12").value;
	this.getField("Text 20").value = this.getField("Text 13").value;
	this.getField("Text 24").value = this.getField("Text 16").value;
	// etc
}
else {
	this.getField("Text 19").value = "";
	this.getField("Text 20").value = "";
	this.getField("Text 24").value = "";
	// etc
}
