If then Statements for a Javascript in PDF form

[Iamvarghesej]

Hellos,

I have created a form that I need to implement an If Then statement. Basically if the answer to one field is a "Product" then I need a particular field to return a Value  as 10.

Basically If Field A is ProductA  Field B=10
If Field A is ProductB then Field B =15
If Field A is ProductC then Field B = 20
Is there a way that this can be incorporated as a formula?

Thank you

Sure. You can use this code as the custom calculation script for "Field B":

var fieldA = this.getField("Field A").valueAsString;
if (fieldA=="ProductA") event.value = 10;
else if (fieldA=="ProductB") event.value = 15;
else if (fieldA=="ProductC") event.value = 20;
else event.value = "";

So I have this custom calc to auto populate phone numbers if a certain insurance is selected... but my insurance field is set to allow custom text for third party insurances. How do I add a code to allow for custom text if a custom text is put in the insurance section? 

var fieldA = this.getField("Insurance").valueAsString;
if (fieldA=="BCBS Federal") event.value = ("1(800)442-4607");
else if (fieldA=="BCBS TX") event.value = ("1(800)451-0287");
else if (fieldA=="BCBS") event.value = ("1(800)676-2583");
else if (fieldA=="UHC") event.value = ("1(877)842-3210");
else if (fieldA=="Cigna") event.value = ("1(800)244-6224");
else event.value="";

The problem with making this field available for manual entry as it is now, is that it's fighting the calculation. Since the value of this field is set from a single source, it is a simple matter to move the script to that source, which means there is no conflict for manual entry. This is your best solution.

Would you by chance know of a tutorial for this?   I know pretty much nothing about any of this, but i'm trying.   I did get my document to work using the script above, but i would also like my people to be able to enter custom text.  However I have no clue now to do it.

Hi! I hope someone might help me.

I have this script but it doesn't seem to run. I have no errors popping up.

The Units field is a drop-down menu.

Script is set up under "Rate" field:

var Units = this.getField("Units").value;
if (Units=="50") event.value = 75;
else if (Units=="100") event.value = 119;
else if (Units=="150") event.value = 125;
else event.value = "False"

I'd like to have $ signs also, but when it didn't work I took them out.

I set the "Units" field to "Commit selected value immediately" under the options.

Please post this to a new thread and provide more info, such as the exact location of the script. Is it a calcualtion? a format? etc.
