Dropdown Box Selection initiates "Material Code" to appear

Question

Hey Everyone,I am in the beginning stages of revamping tan editable work order form for my company.  For the time being I have created a few "mock" drop down boxes.  The idea here would be to select a one of the material types from the drop down box and have our corresponding material/item number appear in the "CODE" column section in the lower left portion of the form. How would you go about doing something like this?  I have searched and searched the web and not come up with what I need.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!I don't know if using the drop down boxes makes creating this form any more difficult or not.  I am open to utilizing the various check boxes on the form as well.Basically my companies material/item numbers "codes" would need to be running behind the scenes.  We only have about 20 of them.  This is totally doable right?

When you add an option to a drop-down field you'll notice that there are two values, the Item value and the Export Value.

The former is the display value, what the user sees. The latter is the actual value of the field when that selection is made.

So if you put the material type as the display value and the material code as the export value it will be easy to copy it over to the "Material Code" field. All you'll have to do in that case is use this code as that field's custom calculation script:

event.value = this.getField("Material Type").valueAsString;
