Dropdown list based on entries in different fields

Community Beginner ,

Hi there,

 

I am preparing Agreement file in PDF with active fields. I was looking for a solution to the problem I came across, but the solution I found and modified does not meet all expectations. Maybe someone here knows a suitable solution.

What I need is:

The agreement contains several fields with, for example, people's names: the person concluding the contract (filed 1), the contact person (field 2), the person authorized to collect the parcel (field 3). Sometimes it's one person, sometimes it's three different people. Name fields are in different parts of the contract.

My intention is to prepare the form in such a way that after entering the person signing the contract (field 1) it is possible to select this person from the dropdown list in field 2. However, in field 2 it must also be possible to manually enter the name of another person.

It's easy at this stage. The problem arises with field 3, because it is necessary to select from the list both names entered in field 1 (text field), selected or entered in field 2 (dropdown list) and possible to enter the third name manually.

I tried to solve this problem by creating an additional text field that retrieves the name selected/entered in field 2 and together with field 1 creates another selection list. However, this solution does not work properly because the name in field 2 is delayed by one cycle, for example: I entered in field 1 the name Chris, in field 2 I have a choice of this name, but I entered the name Peter. In field number 3, I only have Chris to choose from. However, when I enter another name in field 2, e.g. Jack, the choice Chris and Peter appears in field 3 (previous value of field 2).

 

Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Maybe there is a much simpler way?

Thank you in advance.
