Populate a textfield with the dropdown selection

[Former Community Member]

Goo day,

I have one dropdown and a textfield inside a table with one row and an Add button.

The row is repeatable, now when I select a value from the dropdown, say "23" and it populates the textfield say with "Jordan".

I then click the addButton to add a new row, now I select "7" in the new dropdown and its suppose to populate the new textfield with "David Villa" ,

instead of doing that it replaces what was on the initial textfield("Jordan") with David Villa leaving the new textfield empty.

Can someone please help me.

Another thing, I have to select twice for the dropdown to fire, why is that?

Hi,

First thing: I suspect that you have the script in the change event, but are using .rawValue for the test. With dropdowns I would tend to use the exit event and use .rawValue.

In relation to the textfield, you are probably using too full a reference, like "Row1.usersName". If you just use "usersName, eg the name of your textfield, then Acrobat/Reader will use the particular instance of the textfield in the same row as the dropdown.

Hope that helps,

Niall
