Hi Divya,

I am O365 but it should be the same on Premises.

In my sample, I put in my text box the text value of my dropdown box.

In the setting of your dropdown box, give a name to Client ID JavaScript variable name: ddlContentType

In the setting of your text box, give a name to Client ID JavaScript variable name: txtAppendix

If you want that your text box is disabled, add this line NWF$('#' + txtAppendix).prop("readonly", true);

In Form Settings, under Custom Javascript,

NWF$(document).ready(function(){

NWF$('#' + txtAppendix).prop("readonly", true);

NWF$("#"+ddlContentType).change(function()

{

  var selectedValue = NWF$('#' + ddlContentType + ' option:selected');

  NWF$("#"+txtAppendix).val(selectedValue.text());

});

});

Hi  Christophe,

I am looking at your solution and incorporating it for myself. In the line below, is the line added to the text box configuration or in Form Settings, under Custom JavaScript?

If you want that your text box is disabled, add this line NWF$('#' + txtAppendix).prop("readonly", true);

Thanks Christophe!

Hi ‌

In the Form Settings

Divya,

Do you want that text box to still be editable after you have made the selection?  If so, use Christophe's suggestion.  If not, you can use a calculated value and bind that to your list column.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi,

Just want to say that these two options above are best options to use.
