If one checkbox of 15 is checked then show/hide a field

I have a group of 15 check boxes, if one of them (or more) is checked, then I would like field to show. If none are checked, the field disappears. How would I do this?

Additionally, if the check boxes and fields are updated (if spawned), how would this work?

Correct answer try67

the debugger says that "event.target.replace" is not a function.


Sorry, first line should be:

var baseName = event.target.name.replace("User1_Reporting_Cover", "");

Can you give me a sample code that I can adjust to?

My code spawns as follows: P3.User_Page1.User1_Wire_Cover

Try this:

var baseName = event.target.replace("User1_Reporting_Cover", "");
var bShow = false; 
for (var i=1; i<=15; i++) { 
    if (this.getField(baseName + "User1_Account"+i+"_Reporting").valueAsString!="Off") { 
        bShow = true; 
        break; 
    } 
} 
event.target.display = bShow ? display.visible : display.hidden;

The first part is quite simple, but the second part is much more complicated.
Regarding the first: What are the names of those check-boxes, and of the field to show/hide?

The names of the check boxes are as follows: "User1_Account1_Reporting", "User1_Account2_Reporting", "User1_Account3_Reporting", "User1_Account4_Reporting", through "User1_Account15_Reporting".

The field is called "User1_Reporting_Cover"

OK. You can use this code as the custom calculation script of "User1_Reporting_Cover", then:

var bShow = false;
for (var i=1; i<=15; i++) {
    if (this.getField("User1_Account"+i+"_Reporting").valueAsString!="Off") {
        bShow = true;
        break;
    }
}
event.target.display = bShow ? display.visible : display.hidden;
