Try something like this then:
var drop = this.getField("Dropdown1").valueAsString;
if(drop == "One" || drop == "Two"){
event.value = drop;}
else event.rc = false;
I don't know what items you have in dropdown so
change "One" "Two" with dropdown items you have and add more if you have .

I was not reading the topic carefully and I feel like an idiot now.
My script examples are completely wrong.
NesaNurani already answer this correctly.
If you need to allow the users to be able to modify the values in the text fields just add "event.source&&event.source.name" like this:
// LIKE THIS IN FIELD "field.02"
if(event.source&&event.source.name=="select.01"){
var entry = this.getField('field.01').value; //get entry
var table = gTable;
var calc = table[entry].split('--')[1]; //use entry to retrieve value from global table
event.value = calc;
}
// // LIKE THIS IN FIELD "field.03
"if(event.source&&event.source.name=="select.01"){
var entry = this.getField('field.01').value; //get entry
var table = gTable;
var calc = table[entry].split('--')[2]; //use entry to retrieve value from global table
event.value = calc;
}
// LIKE THIS IN FIELD "field.04"
if(event.source&&event.source.name=="select.01"){
var entry = this.getField('field.01').value; //get entry
var table = gTable;
var calc = table[entry].split('--')[3]; //use entry to retrieve value from global table
event.value = calc;
}
Even though I am learning JavaScript I think your intent can be accomplish a lot easier.
Right now you have lines of code all over the place, and a global variable is not exclusively necessary to accomplish the same results. However, I understand you may have your reasons for running the PDF form like this.
But if it helps, I am able to obtain the exact same results on each field if without using a global variable nor a hidden field to get the export value of the dropdown menu,.
To be honest this is all you need:
- You can use the Acrobat's built-in feature(s) like shown in the slide below, and use the export value for each listed item like so
And in the same dropdown field use a simple custom calulation script like this:
var f = event.value;
if(event.source&&event.source.name=="select.01") {
this.getField("field.02").value = f.split("--")[0];
this.getField("field.03").value = f.split("--")[1];
this.getField("field.04").value = f.split("--")[2];
}
This just do same results and also allows the users to edit (or override) the values in the textfields.
As you can see, using the script above doesn't require to do custom script calculations on each field when you can run everything from the dropdown field.
