Dynamic Stamp JavsScript HELP

[victor_miranda]

Hello Community, as you may already see I have no Tech knowledge, but using AI was able to have some what of a code that works.

"

if ((event.source.forReal) && (event.source.stampName == "#QAStamp")) {
// Define the messages for each check box
var messages = [
"NIST Traceable:",
"Lab ID:",
"Calibration Standard:",
"Calibration Status/Re-calibration Date:",
"Actual Results:",
"Notes of Adjustment:",
"Parker Tolerance Used:",
"Parker Tolerance Stated:"
];

// Loop through each check box and prompt the user to check or uncheck
for (var i = 1; i <= 8; i++) {
var checkBoxValue = app.response({
cQuestion: messages[i - 1] + " (Yes/No):",
cTitle: "Check Box Selection",
cDefault: "No"
});

this.getField("Check Box" + i).value = (checkBoxValue.toLowerCase() === "yes") ? "Yes" : "Off";
}

// Prompt user for initials
this.getField("Initials").value = app.response("Initials: ");
}"

but I do not like the behavior, since if you run it you can see the dialogue boxes appear individually and the user has to write "YES" every time.

I try having it modify, but it does not run, I gave the permits and all, but it is my work PC

"if ((event.source.forReal) && (event.source.stampName == "#QAStamp")) {
// Create a custom dialog box
var theDialog = {
initialize: function(dialog) {
dialog.load({
"Check Box1": "Off",
"Check Box2": "Off",
"Check Box3": "Off",
"Check Box4": "Off",
"Check Box5": "Off",
"Check Box6": "Off",
"Check Box7": "Off",
"Check Box8": "Off",
"Initials": "",
"Date": util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date())
});
},
commit: function(dialog) {
var data = dialog.store();
for (var i = 1; i <= 8; i++) {
event.target.getField("Check Box" + i).value = data["Check Box" + i];
}
event.target.getField("Initials").value = data.Initials;
event.target.getField("Date_af_date").value = data.Date;
},
description: {

{ type: "ok_cancel_group" }
]
}
};

// Display the dialog box
var result = app.execDialog(theDialog);
if (result === "ok") {
theDialog.commit.call(this, theDialog);
}
}"

So first, when you post code it is assumed you would like someone else to make sense of it so you can get some help. To this end it is helpful to the rest of us if the code is formatted in such a way that it is easy to read. This is especially true for complicated code.

But, from a quick read, there are a few of things about the dialog box code that are problematic. For example, fields on a dialog are very different from fields on a PDF.  You can't name them the same way or set value in the same way. The code above is a mess.  You need to either spend some time learning about JavaScript and the Acrobat Model, or hire someone. 

If you are interested in leaning about how to do this right I'd suggest starting by using this tool.
