[Sheet Workers] Populating textarea using dropdown box in repeating section

How can I change the text in a textarea depending on the selected value of a dropdown?  I want a description of each choice to appear next to the dropdown in each repeating section.  Here's my code: <div class='sheet-damagetype-container'> <fieldset class="repeating_damage"> <select name="attr_damagetype" class="sheet-damagetype"> <option hidden disabled selected value>Damage</option> <option value="d4">d4</option> <option value="d6">d6</option> <option value="d8">d8</option> <option value="d10">d10</option> <option value="d12">d12</option> </select> <textarea name="attr_damagetext"></textarea> </fieldset> </div> And the script: <script type="text/worker"> on("change:damagetype", function(eventInfo) {      var damage = eventInfo.newValue;     var text = '';      switch (damage) { case "d4": text = "d4 damage yada yada"; break; case "d6": text = "d6 damage yada yada"; break;   case "d8": text = "d8 damage yada yada"; break; case "d10": text = "d10 damage yada yada"; break;   case "d12": text = "d12 damage yada yada"; break;   default: text = '' break;      }   setAttrs({ repeating_damage_damagetext: text }); }); </script

When setting an attribute in a repeating section you have to specify the repeating row you are setting. Something like this should work: <script type="text/worker"> on("change:damagetype", function(eventInfo) {      let damage = eventInfo.newValue,     text = '',          sectionAttr = eventInfo.sourceAttribute;      switch (damage) { case "d4": text = "d4 damage yada yada"; break; case "d6": text = "d6 damage yada yada"; break;   case "d8": text = "d8 damage yada yada"; break; case "d10": text = "d10 damage yada yada"; break;   case "d12": text = "d12 damage yada yada"; break;   default: text = '' break;      }   setAttrs({ `${sectionAttr.replace(/damagetype/,'damagetext')}`: text }); }); </script

Since its a repeating section, you need to grab that in the on:change on("change:repeating_damage:damagetype", etc

ah, good catch GG.

I would have done the script the more familiar (to me) way: on ( "change:repeating_damage:damagetype" , function () { getAttrs ([ "repeating_damage_damagetype" ], function (values) { let damage = values.damagetype; let text = ''; switch (damage) { // your damage code here } setAttrs({ repeating_damage_damagetext: text }); }); });

Aye, but in this case, you can avoid having to go through a getAttrs async round because all the information is contained in the change event (at least as long as this isn't being caused by a token bubble being changed). Avoiding the getAttrs makes it quicker.

Tried both and didn't work.  Will the textarea automatically update just by changing the attribute?

Heh, looks like we both had errors in ours. I've changed some of GG's and incorporated some of mine below: <script type="text/worker"> on("change:repeating_damage", function(eventInfo) {      let damage = eventInfo.newValue,     text = '',          sectionAttr = eventInfo.sourceAttribute;      switch (damage) { case "d4": text = "d4 damage yada yada"; break; case "d6": text = "d6 damage yada yada"; break;   case "d8": text = "d8 damage yada yada"; break; case "d10": text = "d10 damage yada yada"; break;   case "d12": text = "d12 damage yada yada"; break;   default: text = '' break;      }   setAttrs({ `${sectionAttr.replace(/damagetype/,'damagetext')}`: text }); }); </script

Not sure what's going on but still not working.&nbsp; Here's the sheet. <a href="https://gist.github.com/littlebigbucky/abba7d17d6fe63753d371a3f1b3c7379" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/littlebigbucky/abba7d17d6fe63753d371a3f1b3c7379</a> I initially tried to copy the way the wiki codes it.&nbsp; But that doesn't seem to work either. on ( "change:repeating_spells:spelllevel" , function () { getAttrs ([ "repeating_spells_SpellLevel" , "repeating_spells_SpellName" ], function (values) { setAttrs ({ repeating_spells_SpellDamage: Math. floor (values.repeating_spells_SpellLevel / 2 ) + 10 }); }); });

Created new game with no scripts and still doesn't work.&nbsp; Changed the textarea to input but that didn't help &lt;input type='text' name="attr_damagetext"&gt;&lt;/input&gt;&nbsp;

You dont properly close the script block &lt;/script should be &lt;/script&gt;

Just another stab here, Scott's code is missing brackets around the property: template literals don't work as object keys without wrapping. setAttrs({ [sectionAttr.replace(/damagetype/,'damagetext')]: text });

Progress!&nbsp; Adding the brackets like Jakob said makes the text flash in the textbox for a second but then it disappears.

Interestingly if I make it a span the text stays.

Michael D. said: Interestingly if I make it a span the text stays. OK, try this: replace the event string in Scott's solution by making it more specific as follows: on("change:repeating_damage:damagetype", function(eventInfo) {

Thanks that did the trick.

yep, or could have changed the setAttrs to be silent: setAttrs({ [sectionAttr.replace(/damagetype/,'damagetext')]: text },{silent:true});

Scott C. said: yep, or could have changed the setAttrs to be silent: setAttrs({ [sectionAttr.replace(/damagetype/,'damagetext')]: text },{silent:true}); I actually wouldn't recommend doing that, since that would cause this script to misbehave again if OP adds other attributes to this repeating section.

Fair point. It would need logic to figure out what it should do.
