Radio Buttons and fields

Using one field to populate another field requires scripting. Add a mouse up script to each radio button that writes data into the text fields. If the user types data into the text fields that data will remain stable unless the user clicks on one of the radio buttons.

Thank you for your answer but I'm at a loss on what code to use. I've really been looking around and I'm unable to find something equal to getField("").value; but for writing into fields.

How do get JavaScript to write to a field when you can't use event.value?

As long as you are working with an AcroForm, i.e. a form created in Acrobat and not LiveCycle Designer, the "getField().value" is exactly what you want. The "event.value" property is only used to manipulate a Field's own value. And what you are doing is setting a value from another field.

Use code like this

this.getField("TextField1").value = "RadioBut Value 1";
