HiI ask you if, please, someone can solve this question for me.How to Populate text field (eg "A") when A Drop Down List Item From Another Field Is Selected (eg "B") by copying the contents of another text field (eg "C"). The text fields "A" and "C" are not drop-down menus.I would like to insert the formula in the drop down "B".I found this formulaswitch (event.value){case "x": this.getField ("y"). setItems (["1,2,3,4"]); break;I was unable to adapt it to the function I need.Please, anyone who can help me?

From my understanding you want to populate text field "A" with value from text field "C" if certain value in dropdown "B" is selected, first of the script you provided is to set items into dropdown fields so that is not what you asking for.

Here is script to populate field "A", use it in dropdown field as 'validation' script:

if(event.value == "value1")
this.getField("A").value = this.getField("C").value;

You can add:

else this.getField("A").value = "";

to the bottom of the script if you wish to empty field "A" if some other item is selected in dropdown.

Change "value1" to the actual value you have in dropdown and tick 'commit selected value immediately' in dropdown field->options tab.
