Setting a form field to auto fill based on another field

This thread sound close to what I'm looking.  If anyone could help I'd be super grateful

I created a drop down list called 'Employee List' to auto populate to 2 different text fields, 'Employee Name/ID1' and 'Employee Status1', that part I've got.

When picking from the 'Employee List' and 'Regular' auto populates to the 'Employee Status1' the number '1' will auto populate to another text field named 'PayTypeStatus1'.  If 'Temp' auto populates to 'Employee Status' the no '2' will auto populate to 'PayTypeStatus2' etc

The other step involves a separate drop down list called 'Acting Rate'.  If an acting rate is picked it will need to override the Regular or Temp Status auto populated from 'Employee List' to say 'Acting', then 'Acting' will auto populate the number'11' to the 'PayTypeStatus' text field.

One more thing, if 'Auxiliary' auto populates to 'Employee Status' from the 'Employee List' the number 3 will auto populate to 'PayTypeStatus' BUT if an acting rate is chosen the status needs to stay '3', not '11' as described above.

I am trying to write some script for a field in a PDF.  I would like the information in several fields to all populate into one field all together. 

I would like the Text 32 box to automatically start with a U and then the information that is entered in the fundcode, dept, projectgrants, program to all populate together after the U.  For the Account box I would like that entry to equal a letter and enter that at the end of the string in the Text32 box.  Ex.  if 1005 is entered in the account box, the letter S would populate at the end of the string in the Text 32 box. 

Would someone be able to guide me?

I have a time sheet that i'm attempting to customize.  i have a document JavaScript that auto populates the shift for two weeks depending on the employee selection in the drop down box.  What i would also like to do is if any data is in the SICK column it would automatically put the word SICK in the Shift column.  I did get this to work by adding this custom calculation to the SHIFTSUN field.

event.value = (this.getField("SICKSUN").valueAsString=="") ? "" : "SICK";   

My issue is this custom calculation overrides the Document level Javascript and if that custom calculation is behind that field the field is blank regardless if anything is in the SICK field or not.. 

Incidently i would also like to do the same thing for the Vacation, Personal, Wellness fields, if any data is in those fields the Shift field would show  VAC, PERS, WELL.  but i'm not sure how to do this without one overriding the other.  I attempted to add a line for VAC in the same custom calculation field as the above code, but that just overrode the SICK code and it didn't work.  

I admit that i'm extremely new to this and i hope i explained this ok.

i will include a couple of screen shots if those help at all.

This is after i add that SICK custom calculation in the shift field.

When i put the -8 under the sick column it does change the shift field to SICK.

hi,

what if i need the Text field to be populated with a letter related to what was chosen in a dropdown field?

Ex

helicopter1          =  A

helicopter2          = B

helicopter3          = C

I have a similar question with a text field document in InDesign. Instead of going through and changing the name on every page, I was hoping there was a form I could fill in and the names and information in the document would change depending on what I typed into the form. The names and information would change with new customers etc so this isn't something I could set up as a mail merge.

Also having trouble about where to put the code etc? Thanks!

I am trying to make a form so that when a user types in their name in a preliminary field, it is auto-populated to a read only field below (the typed name before the signature line).  I know you can duplicate a field result by naming the subsequent field the same as the original, but if I choose "read only" on the second field it also alters the properties of the first field and I cannot enter the info in the first place.

I am also trying to make this second field "not look like a fillable field" (i.e. no box outline and shading) but still fill in when the original field is completed.

Any thoughts?

I'm trying to populate something based on the value of a previous field. I've been reviewing the previous answers and I can't seem to work out the proper custom calculation script to work.

Field 1 - can be value of A, B or C

Field 2 - value X

Field 3 - value Y

Field 4 - value based on previous fields

What I am trying to get is to populate Field 4 based on the following criteria: If Field 1 is A, then populate value from Field 2. If Field 1 is B or C, then populate value from Field 3.

So I am hoping to pick your brain and do not know if this calculation will work with my problem.  I have an evaluation rubric where I would like the form to automatically place an "X" in the "Satisfactory_Score" cell If the "TOTAL_pts" cell ranges between 70-89.  How would I do this?  Thank you for any help you can provide me.

I need a variation on this.

In filling out a registration form, sometimes there is one person, sometimes there are 2.  They are entered on separate lines.

Currently I have the form auto-fill the date into both boxes, expecting the form user to delete the unused one.  They never do, and I have to cross it out.  Of course if I take out the second date auto-fill, then they don't enter the date at all and I have to fill it in by hand.  I would like to set it up so if text is entered into the 2nd "Seller's Name" box THEN the current date auto-fills the 2nd date box.  Is this possible?
