Hi,

Being a beginner at Javascript and have been looking and searching for the right code.

I really hope that you can help me.

I have created a fillable PDF with a dropdown menus. The dropdowns have 3 options and want each option to result in a color.

This is the script I currently have been working on i'm able to get the color to change for "Complete" but not for "In Progress" or "Not Started"

if (event.value=="Complete")

event.target.fillColor = color.green;

else if (event.value=="In_Progress")

event.target.fillColor = color.yellow;

else if (event.value=="Not_Started")

event.target.fillColor = color.Red;

event.target.fillColor = color.transparent;

-It's "color.red", not "color.Red".

-"color.yellow" is a CMYK color, not an RGB one. Try it with an RGB code, instead.

The last line overrides the others. Looks like you are missing an "else"

And the "Commit value immediately" option should be checked.

if (event.value=="Complete")
   event.target.fillColor = color.green;
else if (event.value=="In_Progress")
   event.target.fillColor = color.yellow;
else if (event.value=="Not_Started")
   event.target.fillColor = color.Red;
else
   event.target.fillColor = color.transparent;
