PDF form adding 2 values to the same field

[Colin Darby]

I have a form with a tick box that adds a value to a single field when ticked, and zeroes it when unticked.

The custom calculation script in this single field is:

event.value = this.getField("Tick domestic electrical").value == "Off" ? 0 : 516;

This works OK.

However I want a second tick box that adds the same value to that single field as well.

But I want it to add that same value, only if the other box is unticked and vice versa.

How can I get this to work?

You can use something like this:

var v1 = this.getField("Tick domestic electrical").value == "Off" ? 0 : 516;
var v2 = this.getField("Tick domestic electrical2").value == "Off" ? 0 : 516;
event.value = v1+v2;

Thanks, I removed the previous script and added this one, now the field stays at zero when I click or unclick the tick box.

Did you make sure to enter the correct field name in the second line of code? I just added "2" at the end of the one you used, since you didn't specify what it should be in your original post.

Yes you're right sorry it's case sensitive.

The fields are now inputting, but when I tick the second box it adds the first tick box value to the second.

I don't want that, it only needs to add one instance of the value.

If the second box is ticked also it doesn't add a further value to the field.

if(this.getField("Tick domestic electrical").value == "Off" &&
this.getField("Tick domestic electrical2").value == "Off")
{event.value=0}else{event.value=516}

That's absolutely perfect thanks very much for your help.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant. The code you got from @PDF Automation Station should do the trick.
