I have a Drop Down List called "EffectiveDate" with 12 items (1/1/16; 2/1/16; 3/1/16 ... 12/1/16). The export values I put in is the pro-rated amount of money the company contributes to an employee's HSA based on their effective date selected. How do I get the text field "Contribution" to show the export value associated with the date selected in EffectiveDate?
Secondly, later in the form, I need the number of pay periods left in the year based on their effective date to populate. If EffectiveDate = 1/1/16 then 24; if EffectiveDate = 2/1/16 then 24; and so on. I used this Custom Calculation Script below in a similar form to pull data from a Radio Button selection, but using it for a drop down list isn't working. I put my modification below that. Can you see what I'm doing wrong?
I am very excited to automate these insurance forms (after all, who likes filling out benefit forms?) and REALLY appreciate the assistance!!
