I am trying to follow this walk through: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/change_another_field

my code for the first part is:

if( event.willCommit ) {

if(event.value == "") this.resetForm(["Account Manager","MOBO","Customer","CNAME","Contact","Cphone","ADD1","ADD2","CPPC","CN1","CN2","CN3","CN4","CN5","CN6","CN7","CO1","CO2","CO3","CO4","CO5","CO6","CO7","CO8","EUI"]); else SetFieldValues(event.value);

}

and my code for the second part is here: WeTransfer

I keep getting a syntax error...

the file Im working on is here: WeTransfer

I am trying to learn Java, and do not claim to be fluent in this coding.

any help would be amazing!... thank you!

function SetFieldValues(cDeptName)

{

this.getField("AccountManager").value = DeptData[cDeptName].AccountManager;

this.getField("MOBO").value = DeptData[cDeptName].MOBO;

this.getField("Customer").value = DeptData[cDeptName].Customer;

You're still using the wrong kind of quotes in your code.

my goodness, I just want to bang my head on the wall.. can I simply switch them to single quotes?... im on a mac, is there a better way to prepare this code other than text editor?
