How can I populate other text fields when I click on an option (list box)?

[admii17053160]

So a helpful member of the community helped me with JS that will populate other text fields based on a selection. Now the issue is, these text fields don't populate as soon as you click on them. Can anyone help please with how I may be able to accomplish this, more info:

I can't work Option2 to populate its values to the fields when I click on it.

Here is the code:

var text1Value = "";

var text2Value = "";

switch (this.getField("dropdownList").value)

{

    case "Option1":

         text1Value = "Option1Value";

         text2Value = "Option1Value";       

          break;

    case "Option2":

         text1Value = "Option2Value";

         text2Value = "Option2Value";       

          break;

     default:

          text1Value = "Please select an option for this field to populate";

          text2Value = "Please select an option for this field to populate";

          break;

}

this.getField ("text1").value = text1Value;

this.getField("text2").value = text2Value;

Thank you for your help!

If that field is a list-box, make sure to tick the "Commit selected value immediately" box under its Properties, Options tab.

Thanks, the "Commit selected value immediately" has been selected. Still not changing based on clicking events.

Where did you place the code?

This is actually a great question!! I put the code on the overall document instead of putting it in Dropdownlist box. Once I put it there, things started working as expected! Thank you!
