Check box then auto-populates text field.

Hi,

Can someone help me with a script for the following problem.

When I check a box, I need "UNCLASSIFIED" to populate in another text fiield.

Correct answer Nesa Nurani

As 'Mouse UP' action of that checkbox, add this script and change "Text field name" to your actual name of that text field:

this.getField("Text field name").value = event.target.value == "Off" ? "" : "UNCLASSIFIED";
