Forms Version 10 Administration How To

Updated December 20, 2017

asked on November 17, 2017

I have a form with five fields (Name, Title, Date, Name 2, Title 2). The Name2 and Title2 fields are read only and I would like to populate these to fields with the input entered in the Name and Title fields. I have created CSS classes for all fields (Name1, Title1, Name2, Title2). I have the following code; however, I'm not having any luck.

function populateFields() {
var x = $('.patName1 input').val();
var y = $('.DOB1 input').val();
var z = $('.MRN1 input').val();
$('.patName2 input').val(x);
$('.DOB2 input').val(y);
$('.MRN2 input').val(z);
}

You can accomplish the same thing without JavaScript using calculations. Under advanced options for one of your read-only fields, you can insert "=VARIABLE" which will replicate the value of your target variable.

With JavaScript, though, you can pass values from one input to another like so:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('.patName1 input').on('change', function () {
	$('.patName2 input').val($(this).val());
  })
});

Ramika,

In the example explained above, I enter the Name field variable (Name) in the Name 2: field Calculation (fx) section on the Advanced tab. This duplicated the input that was entered in the Name field into the Name 2: field.
