Set value depending on dropdown selection

Hello @michaelrieder

I’ll try to describe the process with a hypothetical example.

Assuming you have the number field fieldname1 and the slider field fieldname2, and you want to set the slider value by coding as follows:

If the fieldname1 value is less than or equal to 25, set the slider value to 25.
If the fieldname1 value is greater than 25 and less than or equal to 50, set the slider value to 50. Otherwise, set the value 100.

In this hypothetical case, you can insert a calculated field in the form to be used as an auxiliary and enter the equation:

(function(){
let value;
if(fieldname1<=25) value = 25;
else if(fieldname1<=50) value = 50;
else value = 100;

getField(fieldname2|n).setVal(value);
})()

Best regards.

Hi CodePeople

Ok, the example works. I would like to set the condition to the default choice of the dropdown field. like: if(fieldname1==default). If this is not possible then I have to use if(fieldname1|v==’xxx’). Here I have a html problem because within xxx I have two special characters like ‘ (apos).

Hello @michaelrieder,

If the default value of the Dropdown field is the text ‘default’, you must enclose it between single-quotes or double-quotes symbols. Like:

(function(){
let value;
if(fieldname1 == 'default') value = 25;
else value = 100;

getField(fieldname2|n).setVal(value);
})()

Best regards.
