Wanting to control radio buttons associated with a text field entry, this I was able to get working thanks to some help from another thread.

(https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/toggle-a-radio-button-when-a-text-field-value-is-...)

 

The issue is that each text field has 10 radio toggles (0-9) per field, when it comes to the 4th text field the data I had originaly entered had been replaced with data from one of the previous text field entries. This in turn produced the error 'Invalid value: must be less than or equal to 0.' while testing the form. I tried searching for an answer but wasn't able to locate anything that fit my scenario.

 

Running this coede in each text fields Validate section

 

     this.getField("Radio Button").value = event.value == "0" ? "Choice1" : "Off";

     ...

     this.getField("Radio Button").value = event.value == "9" ? "Choice1" : "Off";

Perhaps there is a different/better way to tackle this?

Actually nothing works. I am using Acrobat Pro DC so when in the preview mode none of the scripting is working but does when you open the file in a browser. When I look at the Preferences Adobe the 'Enable Acrobat JavaScript' is enabled, unless I am missing some other setting.

I was able to figure out CTRL+J opens the console, however I was not able to see any errors other than the fact that the 4th column was the one giving me trouble. Must have been a syntax error I kept missing, so I reentered the data and that solved my problem.

 

I am not a programmer, however I am learning a lot. Thank you for your help.
