Dropdown Box Data to populate another box

[jamesm1164607]

Hello!

I am having a hard time.  I am creating a HHP Respite Agreement for my employees.

What I need is as follows.

The employee will use the drop down box and choose the care level of the individual (Sis Level: 1 2 3 4 5 6)

What I want to happen is when the employee chooses the sis level it will automatically fill in the rate into another box

PLEASE HELP.

How can I do this

Put the rates as the export values for each item and then use a simple script to copy the value of the drop-box to the text field.

Thank you for the reply. How do I do that?

To apply the rates as the export values go to the Properties of the drop-down field and under the Options tab you can insert them.

It should look something like this:

(Make sure you also tick the option to commit the selected value immediately, as is shown above)

Then go to Properties of the text field and under the Calculate tab select Custom Calculation Script and enter this code (let's say the name of the dropdown is "Dropdown1"):

event.value = this.getField("Dropdown1").value;

That's it, pretty much.

That worked perfect! Now my only problem is that, I need the populated box to export the correct amount.  As in:  When I click a level it will automatically enter in the data to the next box.  But now when i add the daily rate and multiply it by how many days.  It only multiplys the days and the export value (as shown below). As you can see, the total pay box is multipling 5 times the export of 1.

Is there a way to fix this try67​?

Sorry, I'm not really following what you mean...

[jamesm1164607]

I figured it out.  Thank you for everything......I do have one more question.....how can I have the text centered.  It automatically has it set for the left.  Do you know of a way to change that?  try67​

In a text field or in a drop-down? In a text field you can set it under Properties - Options. For a drop-down it's not possible to do it by setting a property, but you can add spaces in front of the display names of the items in it.
