It all depends on where you work. Some "TWing" jobs are really just data entry. In my opinion, editing PDFs to automatically perform tasks, is not TW work. It's data entry work for a lower paid worker to perform.

I think you forgot to include your screenshot.
Edit:
If I had to guess assuming that the summary box will show a number 0 through 3 based on one radio button being selected from a single radio group, then I would put this:
const result = this.getField("Task.09").value;
let cnt = 0;
if (result == "Always") {
cnt = 3;
} else if (result == "All") {
cnt = 2;
} else if (result == "Much") {
cnt = 1;
} else {
cnt = 0;
}
event.value = cnt; More on reddit.com 3

r/technicalwriting on Reddit: Adobe Forms and Javascript
January 22, 2024 -
Just trying to get a read on if this is typically in a technical writer’s job scope: does anyone create Adobe fillable forms with javascript to give additional functionality?
There was someone at our company who used to do all forms but left abruptly. Now their job is being put on the technical writers (specifically, me). This feels out of scope for tech writers and should almost be a software developer job since it’s heavy on the javascript. Is it out of line to suggest this to my boss?

"This isn't in my job description" isn't what leadership wants to hear when they lose a resource responsible for a business-critical need. How you respond to this challenge and support leadership could be a pivotal career move. What is the value of these forms to the business? Is this an opportunity to learn a new skill that could lead to a raise--or a higher-paying job elsewhere? How does this work compare to the other jobs on your roadmap? Is your boss aware of the complexity of the forms work, and what else will slip if you take on this work instead? Could you propose other processes, tools, or technologies to make this job easier and lead to better outcomes? The answers to questions like these are what your boss needs to understand. Coming to the table with ideas can be your opportunity to increase your visibility and value as a strategic business partner.
