Dears,

I have 2 fields and one checkbox.

[cred_field field='user_email' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' value=""]
[cred_field field="nickname" class="form-control" output="bootstrap" value = ""]
[cred_field field='agree' force_type='field' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' onclick='copyTextValue()']

I would like to copy the first field value into the second field when the checkbox is checked and before submitting the form. I have used the below code in JS of the user form.

function copyTextValue() {
if(document.querySelector("input[name='wpcf-agree']").checked){
var email = document.querySelector("input[name='user_email']").value;
document.querySelector("input[name='nickname']").value; = email;
}
}

we have tested the code it was working fine outside WordPress, but it is not working when I used it here. What is wrong with it??

Hi Salim,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Onclick is not a valid attribute for our Toolset Forms shortcodes. In order to implement your solution the best way is to trigger the jQuery trigger. See details below.

Please let me know if this helps or if further clarification is needed.
Thanks,
Shane
