Linking data in fields in AdobeCycle Designer8

[Former Community Member]

I have Adobe LiveCycle Designer and would like to know how I can set up the following: I have created a form with different fields and I would like to link two fields as follows.

Example: On one field I would have a drop down box containing different city names. When I chose a city name from that drop down list, I would like the state name for that city to automatically prepopulate in another field.



Can anyone explain how this can be accomplished in Adobe LiveCycle Designer.



Thanks

Try this. In the change event for the drop down list enter the following code.



var myCity = xfa.event.newText;

TextField1.rawValue = myCity;

Thanks Steven for your help.



I also found a really good article showing you step by step instructions, just in case anyone else is interested.
