Concatenate text

[Marietaa]

I have five text fields (Text1 to Text5) and five corresponding checkboxes (Check Box1 to Check Box5). I need to create a script such that when a checkbox is selected, the value of the corresponding text field is displayed in a separate field. If multiple checkboxes are selected, the values of the associated text fields should be concatenated and displayed, separated by commas. Could you advise on how to implement this functionality using a custom script?

Use this as custom calculation script in a field where you want to show text:

var txt = [];
for(var i=1; i<=5; i++){
 var c = this.getField("Check Box"+i).valueAsString;
 var t = this.getField("Text"+i).valueAsString;
 
 if(c !== "Off")
  txt.push(t);}

event.value = txt.length ? txt.join(",") : "";

Change:

join(",") with join("\n")

I changed field to multiline, how to show each value in separate row?

Is it possible to add text by order it is checked?

[Nesa Nurani · Accepted solution]

Try this:

if (typeof orderArray === "undefined") {
 var orderArray = [];}

var txt = [];

for (var i=1; i<=5; i++) {
 var checkbox = this.getField("Check Box"+i).valueAsString;
 var text = this.getField("Text"+i).valueAsString;

 if (checkbox !== "Off") {
  if (orderArray.indexOf(i) === -1) {
   orderArray.push(i);}} 
 else {
  var index = orderArray.indexOf(i);
  if (index !== -1) {
   orderArray.splice(index, 1);}}}

for (var idx of orderArray) {
 txt.push(this.getField("Text" + idx).valueAsString);}

event.value = txt.length ? txt.join("\n") : "";
