Hi Everyone,

I have a vf page that adds multiple child records to an object.

I have a controller for this that can add/delete rows etc.

What I want to do is update a text field with some predetermined text based on the picklist value from the vf page.
for example

PICKLIST COLUMN                  DATE COLUMN                  TEXT COLUMN
PICKLIST VALUE 1                            ---                                       ---
PICKLIST VALUE 2                            ---                                       ---

On insert I want to add "Description related to picklist value 1" into the text column for the picklist value 1 row and "Description related to picklist value 2" into the other.

There is no maximum number of rows.

There are 94 different picklist values with descriptions.

I'm guessing I would hold all the description values in the controller some how and then use the picklist value to reference them.

Just not sure how.

This is my vf page and controller so far:

<apex:page controller="AddingAssessmentsController">
    <style>
        .homeTab .pageTitleIcon, .individualPalette .homeBlock .pageTitleIcon
        {
            background-position: initial;
            background-image: url('/img/icon/wrench32.png');
        }
    </style>
    
    <apex:form >
        <apex:variable var="rowNum" value="{!0}"/>
        <apex:pageBlock >
