Below javascript not working for cTo address but does work for cCc address. Error is "undefined." I am a newbie to writing javascript but researched this one to death and used a billion variations. This script is the only one that had no syntax errors. Where might the trouble be? My goal is to have the submit button send to first email if fulltime faculty is selected and to second email if any other item in dropdown is selected. I tried and else only statement and it failed. So I went with multiple if else statements. I also tried inequality ( != ) operator which also was a syntax error. Please advise! Thanks!
var DropdownPositionType = this.getField("DropdownPositionType").valueAsString;
if (DropdownPositionType === "Fulltime Faculty") {
event.value = "user@university.edu";
} else if (DropdownPositionType === "Graduate Assistant") {
event.value = "User2@university.edu";
} else if (DropdownPositionType === "Fulltime Staff") {
event.value = "User2@university.edu";
} else if (DropdownPositionType === "Parttime non student") {
event.value = "User2@university.edu";
}
var cCCAddr = this.getField("HiringManagerEmail").value;
var cSubLine = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.";
var cBody = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.";
this.mailDoc({
bUI: true,
cTo: cToAddr,
cCc: cCCAddr,
cSubject: cSubLine,
cMsg: cBody
});
Replace
event.value
with
cToAddr

Where does you set the variable cToAddr?

Hello Bernd,
Thank you for responding. I have no var for cToAddr. Only place I think it is set is in this.mailDoc. I do not know how else to define it.

Do you want a new email to be sent each time the user makes a selection in the drop-down field?

No. The field is a one and done. User makes a single selection from dropdown field 'Position Type'. An email is sent to recipient one when "fulltime faculty" is chosen. Any other choice from that field will send an email to recipient two.

"Undefined" is not an error.

So happy it is not an error. However I do not know how to fix and script does not work.

Bernd just provided you with the solution.
Replace "event.value" with "cToAddr". This defines the cToAddr, so it can be used in the email fuction.

Thank you so much Bernd and Thom! I made the change in the script and was elated after spending so much time on it and now it works perfectly. I appreciate the help. Thanks.
