Re: How to populate a drop-down list box from other text boxes on the form

It's possible to do this without code, but it would require that these first and last names be in a repeating group instead of 10 separate fields. Is there a reason you're not using a repeating group for this?

How to populate a drop-down list box from other text boxes on the form

Hello,

I'm trying to populate 4 drop down lists with the same group of names. I'm guessing I'll just have to use the same solution 4 different times for each variable name. Below is an example of what I'm trying to do. Keep in mind that the first part of where they fill in their first name and last name in separate text fields is on the page before the drop-down list boxes. The user can save the data on each page. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I was told that I might have to create a secondary data source and programmatically add/remove items to the data source. I'm not really sure how to do that though.

Example:

These are 5 rows a user can fill out with separate boxes for the first and last names.

First Name1 Last Name1

First Name2 Last Name2

First Name3 Last Name3

First Name4 Last Name4

First Name5 Last Name5

On the next page they want these names to be populated in a drop down list as follows (the First Name and Last Name are concatenated together):
