Get next value of choice field

Senad

Hello,

 

I have a choice field and a text field. I need to create a expression for the text field to calculate the next value of the choice field.

 

For example, choice field has options "A","B","C","D". If I select "B", the text field need to return "C", if I select "C", the text field need to return "D".

 

What would be the way to accomplish this?

 

Thanks in advance

  Please try this Calculated expression:

  var valueToSelect = "";
  var selected = [[YourChoiceFieldName]];
  var inputs = jQuery("input[id^='YourChoiceFieldName']");
  var selectedIndex = 0;
  inputs.each(function(i, e){
    var optionValue = jQuery(e).val();
    if(optionValue === selected){
      selectedIndex = i;
    }
  });
  var nextElement = inputs[selectedIndex +1];
  if(nextElement){
    return jQuery(nextElement).val();
  }else{
    return selected;
  }

  Do not forget to change field name used in the script.

  Hello,

   

  thank you for your answer.

   

  The expressions is returning a value, but its always the same value as chosen. 

   

  Problems that I've noticed:

  var optionValue does not loop, selectedIndex stays always 0 like its defined.

  var nextElement stays undefined and the last part else{return selected;} is always triggering.

  Great, its working now, the problem was in the script above, this line:

   

  var inputs = jQuery("input[id^='YourChoiceFieldName]']");

   

  I was double clicking the names so the bracket left there.

   

  Thank you, great solutions.
