Text keeps changing to default when leaving text field

[Ernesto22]

I have a drop down menu in a PDF  called "selectedReg" that changes a text field.

I have the following in the Custom calculation script for the text field:

if (selectedReg=="1") event.value = "Text for option 1";

else if (selectedReg=="2") event.value = "Text for option 2";

else if (selectedReg=="3") event.value = "Text for option 3";

After the text is displayed, I need to add some additional text to it.  But when I click out of the text field it will keep reverting to the default value.

Any easy way that I can make changes to the text field and make them stay?

Thanks!

You need to move the code to the custom validation script of the drop-down and change it to this:

var f = this.getField("name of text field");

if (event.value=="1") f.value = "Text for option 1";

else if (event.value=="2") f.value = "Text for option 2";

else if (event.value=="3") f.value = "Text for option 3";
