Hello guys,

Could you someone help me with my current issue in Nintex Forms?

I would like to auto populate a text field based on selected value in a listbox (choice menu).

  • In my concrete case I have 2 fields: the field name „Template name“ which is a listbox and the second field „Answer to customer“ which is a multiple line of text.
  • I have also created a SharePoint list „Templates for customers“ where I have 2 columns „Template Name“ and „Answer“ where template name corresponds with the values in the listbox and the value in Answer“ I would like populate to the „Answer to customer“ in my form.
  • The last thing is that a prefilled text in the field “Answer to customer” must be always possible to edit manually.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards

Martin

Have you tried the JavaScript solution mentioned by emha in the article below? That should work with Classic Forms; https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/How-to-set-a-multi-line-text-box-based-on-drop-down-when-in-use/td-p/4359

 

Good luck!
