Hi,

Depending on my selection in the dropdown list, I would like to fill specific checkboxes with a tick.

For example, the checkbox "Monday", "Tuesday" and "Friday" should be filled by the selection in the dropdown list: "Sport".

I would be very happy for your help!

Ajust checkboxes names and place this script as a "Validation script" in the dropdown list:

if (event.value == "Sport") {
this.getField("mondayCheckbox").checkThisBox(0,true);
this.getField("tuesdayCheckbox").checkThisBox(0,true);
this.getField("fridayCheckbox").checkThisBox(0,true);
}
else {
this.getField("mondayCheckbox").checkThisBox(0,false);
this.getField("tuesdayCheckbox").checkThisBox(0,false);
this.getField("fridayCheckbox").checkThisBox(0,false);
}

Hi,

Below is a script for 6 check boxes. You have to indicates the boxes to check as export values of the drop down items.

for (var i=1; i<=6; i++) this.getField("cB"+i).value="Off";
var lesCases=this.getField("Jours").value;
if (lesCases!=0) {
var lesCases=lesCases.split(",");
for (var i=0; i<lesCases.length; i++) this.getField("cB"+lesCases[i]).checkThisBox(0,true);
}

...and the example file at:
