If/Then to control behavior/value of 3 Fields based on DropDown

[Former Community Member]

My form has 3 fields I am needing to control their values and/or behavior based on dropdown value.   If the value is 'original', I'm needing the Current Value field to not be mandatory, and the 2 bottom fields to just return null.  If  'change' is selected, I'm needing Current Value to be required, and calculations performed on bottom 2 fields.    Below is what I have in the exit event (JavaScript) of the dropdown, which is named OrderType, but nothing is happening.  What am I missing, or do I have this on the wrong event or should I be using FormCalc?

Appreciate any help, thank you!

 form1.#subform[0].OrderType::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == "Original")
{
    xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.value_curr").rawValue = "";
    xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.value_curr").mandatory = "disabled";
    xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.value_change").rawValue = "";
    xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.value_total").rawValue = "";    
}
else if (this.rawValue == "change")
{
    xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.value_curr").rawValue = "";
    xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.value_curr").mandatory = "error";
    xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.value_change").rawValue = xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform[5].tblBOM.FooterRow.GrandTotal");
    xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.value_total").rawValue = value_curr + value_change;
}

Have you done the form properties settings ? To do the same

In the preview tab > Preview adobe XML Form as should be : Dynamic XML Form.I hope in the default tab > PDF Render Format has to be Dynamic.

If it doesnt work keep message box and see whether you are getting the message or not.

Thank you.  It was saved as dynamic XML, bu the form properties were static pdf.  The default language was set to FormCalc, should it be JavaScript?  Have set it to dynamic rendering and tried both default languages and tried the messsage box.  Am not getting a message.  I put the message box before the IF code started.

Hi ,

Change the below line it would work.

else if (this.rawValue == "Change")

I havent done any modification except that.

Thanks

Thank you, I need to realize this is case sensitive and have corrected the line, but still not having any luck.  The test messsage box isn't firing up and neither are the bottom 3 fields being altered based on dropdown selection.  I have gone back through the form settings, but don't know what is different in why it won't work for me.

xfa.host.messageBox("Hello World!");
if (this.rawValue == "Original")
{
    value_curr.rawValue = "";
    value_curr.mandatory = "disabled";
    value_change.rawValue = "";
    value_total.rawValue = "";    
    xfa.host.messageBox("End of original loop");
}
else if (this.rawValue == "Change")
{
    value_curr.rawValue = "";
    value_curr.mandatory = "error";
    value_change.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform[5].tblBOM.FooterRow.GrandTotal");
    value_total.rawValue = value_curr + value_change;
    xfa.host.messageBox("End of Change loop");
