Using multiple checkboxes to populate text field with the checkbox values

[Steve25219687xhr4]

Hi there,

Is it possible to click checkboxes and get the value to appear in a text field?

Checkbox values are:

Level Life

Increasing Life

Decreasing Life

Level CI_CILC

The name of the Text Field is "TextField1".

If possible I would like to try and get the textfield populated, if all 4 checkboxes are active, as:

'Level Life | Increasing Life | Decreasing Life | Level CI_CILC '

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Steve

You can do it using this code, as the custom calculation script of the text field:

var values = [];
if (this.getField("Check Box 5").valueAsString!="Off") values.push("Level Life");
if (this.getField("Check Box 6").valueAsString!="Off") values.push("Increasing Life");
if (this.getField("Check Box 7").valueAsString!="Off") values.push("Decreasing Life");
if (this.getField("Check Box 8").valueAsString!="Off") values.push("Level CI_CILC");
event.value = values.join(" | ");

If you wish to show values when all 4 checkboxes are active, use this as custom calculation script of text field:

var checkedValues = [];
for (var i=5; i<=8; i++) {
 var f = this.getField("Check Box " + i).valueAsString;
  if (f !== "Off") {
   checkedValues.push(f);}}
if (checkedValues.length === 4) {
 event.value = checkedValues.join(" | ");} 
else {
 event.value = "";}
