PDF Form Checkboxes to select dropdown option

[Rach3ll3g]

Hello,  

I am working on a form.  It has 5 checkboxes ( that signify an automatic fail) When I select any of these 5 checkboxes, I want a dropdown to automatically select Fail. 

Checkbox names are Yes19 - 23

The Option is 3rd in the menu.  

Does someone have any idea how to do this? 

Also, I am taking some javascript courses, but do you have nay recommendations for other learning opportunities?

You can use this code as the custom calculation script of the drop-down:

var fail = false;
for (var i=19; i<=23; i++) {
	if (this.getField("Yes"+i).valueAsString!="Off") {
		fail = true;
		break;
	}
}
if (fail) event.value = "Fail";
