Is is possible to apply a loop into one text field, instead entering the following custom validation script into each Employee 1 to 5 text fields that switch the AbsencePayTypeDesc 1 to 5 fields? I've attached a simplified version of what I need but my actual PDF has 25 lines and it's a bit time consuming when I have to update it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
switch (event.value) {
case "Kerry":
var fields = ["AbsencePayTypeDesc1"];
for (var i in fields) this.getField(fields[i]).setItems([" ","Vacation (Kerry)","Sick (Kerry)"]);
break;
case "Derek":
var fields = ["AbsencePayTypeDesc1"];
for (var i in fields) this.getField(fields[i]).setItems([" ","Vacation (Derek)","Sick (Derek)"]);
break;}
As document level script use like this:
function setDropdowns(field){
switch (event.value) {
case "Kerry":
field.setItems([" ","Vacation (Kerry)","Sick (Kerry)"]);
break;
case "Derek":
field.setItems([" ","Vacation (Derek)","Sick (Derek)"]);
break;
default:
field.clearItems();}
}
Now just call a function in each field as validation script like this:
for first field:
setDropdowns(this.getField("AbsencePayTypeDesc1"));
for second:
setDropdowns(this.getField("AbsencePayTypeDesc2")); ...etc
To set

You can use a function and the field name as parameter of the function.

To set document level script select 'Prepare form' tool, click on 'More' then 'Document JavaScript', give script a name and click 'add' and paste script I gave you inside.
