Dropdown List with Assigned Dependents

Question

Question: How do I create a dropdown list with assigned dependents in other fields? Example, I want the primary dropdown list to have various project names to choose from. When I select a project name I would like another field in the form to automatically populate with a specific project number associated with the project name I selected. Thanks for your help!

Yes, you can have as many as you want by using a separator in the export values then splitting the value:

333-333-3333--president

The separator is --

The script for phone # field:

event .value=this.getField("Dropdown").value.split("--")[0]
Change the 0 to 1 for the position field

Use the project numbers as the export values of the corresponding project names and check "Commit selected value immediately" in the options tab of the dropdown. Then enter the following custom calculation script in the text field that you want to populate with the project number:

event.value=this.getField("Dropdown1").value;
