How to make a dropdown selection select checkboxes

[Kyle28140526r23x]

Hello,

Curious if it's possible to make a specific dropdown selection also populate specified checkboxes later on a .pdf form? Other options within the dropdown should not check any boxes. Is this possible? Thanks!

In the dropdown field under 'Options' tab, check 'Commit selected value immediately' if you want the script to trigger without the need to click outside the field once you make the choice.

Use this as 'Validation script of dropdown field:

this.getField("Unbundled").checkThisBox(0,event.value == "DB" ? true : false);
this.getField("Check Box28").checkThisBox(0,event.value == "DB" ? true : false);
this.getField("Check Box29").checkThisBox(0,event.value == "DB" ? true : false);
this.getField("Check Box30").checkThisBox(0,event.value == "DB" ? true : false);
this.getField("Check Box26").checkThisBox(0,event.value == "DB" ? true : false);
this.getField("Check Box32").checkThisBox(0,event.value == "DB" ? true : false);

And here is your file with script added:

is there any way to do this, if i enter anything in a text box and the box is checked. 

[Nesa Nurani]

if(event.value != "")
this.getField("checkbox2").checkThisBox(0,true);

No, for all 3 options, i want the box to be checked.

Then just add it to yes/ no conditions:

if(event.value == "Yes" || event.value == "No" || event.value == "None")
