I have a form i'm working on and would like to know if there is a way to have different text show up in the plain text field based on the option selected by the user.
Thanks in advance for you help.

Yes you can. Here's an example.

Populate an input based on a drop down, or populate a drop down list based on an input?
Here's an input populated from a drop down.

So, thanks to your example, i figured out how to get this working. Now, however, it breaks everything else in the form.
is there a way around this, or is it either form code, or my custom code?
Thanks.

What do you mean by 'breaks everything else in the form' ?
Do you have a link to the form we can look at?

Were going to need to see the issue as Gunsmoke has pointed out.

so, here is what i mean.
i have 1 drop down and a plain text field that i want updated by the dropdown. based on Eric's example, i was able to get that working. I added 2 more drop downs, 1 being dependent to be shown by the other based on a the selection. when i put the code in for the first drop down and plain text field, it breaks the 2nd drop down.
i will try to post it up somewhere.

One thing to check for is under 'Properties' for each of your drop downs, check the 'Name' box and insure that no two have the same name. They all need to be different.

Your probably looking at either a JQuery conflict or the script isn't ready when you show and unhide the other elements with the conditionals. Form builder won't let you name elements with the same variable name.
