Dropdown list to view or hide other fields

[#1]

I wanna create a PDF form that has conditional Dropdown list. For example, dropdown list has values: X, Y & Z. If the user chooses “X” he will see a list of checklist different than when he chooses “Y” or “Z”.. so is this possible to do this using adobe pro DC with javascrips ??. thanks..

Do you want to show/hide another field, or do you want to set the items available in a field based on the selection?

Both are possible, but require different approaches.

hi, it will be like bellow.

if i select "X" in drop down, bellow that should visible 5 questions & check boxes to select. if i select "Y" in drop down, before 5 questions & check boxes need to disappear & need to visible different 6 questions & check boxes to select in same place. same way i have 5 different drop down selections so same 5 set of questions & check boxes available to hide or display. hope it's clear. thanks..

OK. The generic code to do it would be something like this (as the custom validation script of the drop-down field):

if (event.value=="X") {

     this.getField("Field1").display = display.visible;

     this.getField("Field2").display = display.hidden;
} else if (event.value=="Y") {

     this.getField("Field1").display = display.hidden;

     this.getField("Field2").display = display.visible;

}

It's possible to use an array with the names of the fields to show/hide.

Here's an example:

var fields1 = ["Field1", "Field2", "Field3"];
var fields2 = ["Field4", "Field5", "Field6"];
for (var i in fields1) this.getField(fields1).display = (event.value=="X") ? display.visible : display.hidden;
for (var i in fields2) this.getField(fields2).display = (event.value=="Y") ? display.visible : display.hidden;
