A frustrated novice. If I have 4 checkbox choices on one page, how can I have the choice show up as text on another page textbox. Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you set choice as export value of checkbox?

Is there one text field for all four checkboxes, is only one checkbox checked at a time?

I haven't set any export values for the checkboxes. I am hoping to only have 1 text field show the choice selected from the 4 checkboxes. The 4 checkboxes are ratings. Unmet, Meets, Exceeds, etc. and would like whatever choice is picked to show up on a summary page.

Do the check-boxes share the same name? If not, the user could select more than one value, and then you would need to combine all the selected values into the text field (which is possible, but probably not what you want). If they share the same name then apply the desired texts as their export values (under Properties, Options tab) and use the following code as the text field's custom calculation script (let's say the name of the check-box group is "CB1"):

var v = this.getField("CB1").valueAsString;

event.value = (v=="Off") ? "" : v;
