How to use a drop-down field, fill another field, but make that field editable.

[kathyfromeldorado]

I have a listing of services, they usually have a set price, so I want that to fill another field. Occasionally that price can change, I want the user to be able to override that price with another one.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

There is a workaround to your problem :

Create a check box "Edit". So if user wants to change the value of your another text field , he will mark this check box.

Otherwise this check box remains unchecked and your text box will have the value of the dropdown.

This will make your text box editable when your check box is checked only.

Add this script in the Calculate tab of the text field.(Right click - >Properties->Calculate-> Custom calculation script-> Edit)

if(! this.getField("<Name of check box>").isBoxChecked(0)) {

event.value = this.getField("<Name of your dropdown>").value;

}

NB : I am assuming your another field is text box and you are using Acrobat DC to create your fields.

One more question. Where do I put the default price? Do I put that in the options panel? Then where do I put that the value should be placed in the text box?
