if dropdown says specific text, then checkbox is marked

[symone_1736]

I'm trying to make it where if a dropdown of US states triggers a check box. I want 49 states to trigger this and only one (KY), to not trigger the text box. Is this possible?

Dropdown list name: TitleState

Check box name: OOS

That community post was also me. The difference here is that I need specific text to trigger the checkbox. I need 49 states to trigger the check box to be checked; I need 1 state to ensure that this checkbox remains unchecked.

In the other thread a regular expression was used to test for a an empty field value.  You're current request isn't really all that different. It's just the test that needs to be adjusted.   So you want the text "KY" to uncheck, and all other values to check. 

Here's the code to put in the custom "Validate" script on the dropdown:

this.getField("OOS").checkThisBox(event.value != "KY",0);

Just a small mix-up! The 0 goes first in the function. So it should be:
this.getField("OOS").checkThisBox(0, event.value != "KY");
