Drop Down List Menus

[Former Community Member]

I am trialing LiveCycle ES2.  When using a drop down list as a menu and the user selects an item from the menu, can a "populated" field show information on the selection made?  I am not skilled in the XML type language and am solely using the drag and drop features of ES2.  Thanks in advance for any replies.

Yes. You could do either of the following (but not both).

// form1.page1.dropDown::exit - (JavaScript, client)

form1.page1.textField.rawValue = this.rawValue;

The second option has the advantage of making the field 'textField' read-only (which may or may not be desirable).

// form1.page1.textField::calculate - (JavaScript, client)

this.rawValue = form1.page1.dropDown.rawValue;
