    Auto Populating Data in Form only if Yes/True

    It seems like a simple request, but I cannot get it to work. Does anyone know to how to make data from one field auto populate in another field, only if the answer is yes/true? I have a form that I would like the exact data, which varies, to auto populate only after an update to yes. A toggle button is to answer the field, but I would like for the answer to be the data from another field. Please advise. Thanks!

    Hi, and Welcome to Bytes!

    We need to know a little more than you have told us so far. You perhaps know your data so well you have forgotten to tell us what the items you want to populate are, and on what condition! It helps us a lot if you could tell us the fields concerned, and their types.

    Thanks

      Oops!

      I would like for the data (requested credit amount) to equal the adjusted amount . The information for the requested credit amount is manually inputted. I like for the adjusted amount to be automatically generated in the adjusted amount, because it will always be equal to the requested . I have a toggle button in place that currently says True/False, but I would like for the information to reflect the actual adjusted amount. After the click for yes, I would like the adjusted amount to relfect the amount in currency. this is not absolutely necessary, I would just like to have a custome field. I have changed the field verbage to allow for True/False to be acceptable.

        I'm not sure I follow exactly what you want but maybe this will help guide you to a solution. Use the AfterUpdate event of the true/false field. If true, then set your requested credit amount field to the adjusted amount. If false, then do nothing (or something else).
