I got a script from chatGPT for adobe acrobat dc pro

 

"When I select a value from dropdown list and want on a textbox automatically like

When I select N/A then textbox should be empty

when I select 0 then textbox should have a value of 0%

when I select 1 then textbox should have a value of 25%

when I select 2 then textbox should have a value of 50%

when I select 3 then textbox should have a value of 75%

when I select 4 then textbox should have a value of 100%"

 

but I dont get any result when I run the followng javascript, 

 

// Replace "DropdownFieldName" and "TextboxFieldName" with the actual field names in your document
var dropdownField = "DropdownFieldName";
var textboxField = "TextboxFieldName";

// Define the mapping of dropdown values to textbox values
var valueMapping = {
"N/A": "",
"0": "0%",
"1": "25%",
"2": "50%",
"3": "75%",
"4": "100%"
};

// Get the dropdown and textbox fields
var dropdown = this.getField(dropdownField);
var textbox = this.getField(textboxField);

// Set up a change event handler for the dropdown field
dropdown.setAction("OnBlur", function() {
var selectedValue = dropdown.value;

// Set the textbox value based on the selected value from the dropdown
if (valueMapping.hasOwnProperty(selectedValue)) {
textbox.value = valueMapping[selectedValue];
}
});

    If you format the text field as percentage, then set the export value like this:

    In export value for 0 enter 0 for 1 give it export value 0.25...etc

     

    If you didn't set format in text field, then set export values like this:

    In export value for 0 enter 0% for 1 give it export value 25%...etc

    Add percentage as 'export value' to dropdown choices, then use this as custom calculation script of dropdown field:

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

      It works but not according to what I want, it gives what is inside dropdown list, i.e if "0" then it gives 0%, if "1" then gives 1% and so on, I need if dropdown value is "0", textbox value should be 0% and if dropdown value is "1", textbox value should be "25%" and so on. so please make such script or coding to give the required result. Thanks

      Hi @Alizai,

       

      Hope you are doing well. Thank you for writing in!

       

      Instead, I prefer the If-Else statement to capture the values for drop-downs and fields. 

      I tried a script that worked for me:

      function onDropdownChange(event) {
  var dropdown = event.target;
  var textbox = document.getElementById("textbox");

  if (dropdown.value == "N/A") {
    textbox.value = "";
  } else if (dropdown.value == "0") {
    textbox.value = "0%";
  } else if (dropdown.value == "1") {
    textbox.value = "25%";
  } else if (dropdown.value == "2") {
    textbox.value = "50%";
  } else if (dropdown.value == "3") {
    textbox.value = "75%";
  } else if (dropdown.value == "4") {
    textbox.value = "100%";
  }
}

document.addEventListener("change", onDropdownChange);

       

      Hope this helps.

       

      Note: I am not an expert when it comes to scripting, but this is something that worked for me.
