I'm trying to show the Export Value of a dropdown instead of the selected option i.e. the user selects BLACK but the export value of BLK is actually displayed. I can find lots of discussions on how to pull the export value and display it or use it to trigger another response in another field and I can usually tweak my existing JavaScripts when I need something new but I cannot seem to wrap my head around this!
This is my latest (failed) attempt
var f = this.getField("eyes");
if (event.value == "Black - BLK")
f.value = "BLK"
I'm using Acrobat PRO DC.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks

I've been doing this a long time, and have never heard of anyone wanting something like this, so it's interesting. Remove your current script and try the following as the custom Format script of the eyes dropdown:
// Custom Format script for dropdown
event.value = event.target.getItemAt(event.target.currentValueIndices, true);
This sets what's displayed in the dropdown to the export value of the selected item. Select the "Commit selected value immediately" option for the dropdown for the smoothest

Do you use any script, and where did you put the script?
On mobile, scripts will not work.
