How to record the selection from a dropdown for up to 10 selections

[stevenm8611492]

So I have one drop down that I need to enter as a string to a text field, 10 selections from the Dropdown

Please elaborate. It sounds like you want to have a dropdown that can have up to 10 items selected. That's not possible, dropdowns can have only one item selected.

You need a list field with the multiple selections option enablied, then you need a cust script to join or concatinate the choicies.

I have one Drop down with 127 items and I need to record the 10 selections from that single dropdown each time a new Dropdown is selected into another text field (join or concatenate)

Dropdown is Called "CC" and the field is "CareeerPaths"

selection1 + ", " + selection2 + ", " + selection3 etc....

I'm thinking that the code can be done with a counter (var i = 1; i<11; i++) { do something;}

if(event.willCommit){if(event.value == "") this.resetForm (["CareeerPaths"]);

else SetCareerPathsFieldValues(event.value);

Have you tried your script on your form?

What was the result?

As far as I know a "drop box" or "combobox" field type does not support multiple selections.

The "Select multiple" option is only available using the "List Box" field.

One thing you might consider in order to use the dropdown as you describe is that for each selection from the dropdown a script will append the current selection to the text field and using a comma as a delimiter between "items" AND delete that item from the dropdown. You'd then need an event on the text field to repopulate the dropdown in case the user deletes something something from the text field.

If that sounds like what you want, the script is pretty simple.
