In my form when one drop down field changes "EpisodeID", I would like Title to mirror the change with the exact same info selected. Thanks

Hi @kgiles 

 

Using Classic Form

Using Choice control named ChoiceType

Set the values in Choices field

Set the JavaScript variable name of 'txtChoice' for the control

For the Title - Text control - Set the JavaScript variable "txtTitle"

 

Next, we need to add some interactivity using JavaScript.

Add custom JavaScript to: Form Settings > Custom JavaScript

 

NWF$(document).ready(function () { NWF$("#" + txtChoice).change(function () { var x = NWF$("#" + txtChoice + " option:selected").val(); var y = NWF$("#" + txtTitle); y.val(x); }); });

 

When the Choice changes, this function is run.

It set the value of Title (var Y) to the value of Choice (var X) 

txtChoice and txtTitle is defined in the Control settings.

 

The result

 

Hope this helps

Hi @kgiles 

Which type of Form are you using Responsive or Classic?

 

Using Responsive Form - Add a choice dropdown control

Add a Rule for the Title control. Set the Title value to the value of of the dropdown

The result
