Auto populate the picklist value to the text field

Is it possible to auto populate the picklist value to the text field in standard page. If so, can you please explain how to achieve it.

hi check this once............ 
<apex:pageBlock id="theBlock">
   <apex:inputCheckbox value="{!theSObject.CheckBox__c}">
      <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="theBlock"/>
   </apex:inputCheckbox>

   <apex:inputText value="{!theSObject.TextField__c}" disabled="false" rendered="{!(theSObject.CheckBox__c == true)}"/>
   <apex:inputText value="{!theSObject.TextField__c}" disabled="true" rendered="{!(theSObject.CheckBox__c != true)}"/>

   <!-- Or to simply have a field that appears only when the box is checked -->
   <apex:inputText value="{!theSObject.TextField__c}" rendered="{!(theSObject.CheckBox__c == true)}"/>
</apex:pageBlock>

Hello Sanju, 

I don't think it's possible. 
You can have workflow to copy the picklist value to the text field.

Thanks,

Hi Sanju,
Setup a workflow rule where the condtions for the formula ( not criteria) is based on your ISCHANGED( Picklistfield ).

The field update will update the desired field using a formula and the formula will likely be something like:
your Text(textfield).

when the picklist value is changed to " ISCHANGED( Picklistfield )" the rule will fire and copy the value of the picklist field into your text field.


Thanks,
Rupal Kumar.

Hello Rupal, 
I think, It should be Text(Picklistfield).

Thanks,

You set the picklist value in the edit page URL, for this you will have to override the New button and set the desired picklist value in overridden VF and redirect. Its called as URL hacking, more info here - http://raydehler.com/cloud/clod/salesforce-url-hacking-to-prepopulate-fields-on-a-standard-page-layout.html (http://raydehler.com/cloud/clod/salesforce-url-hacking-to-prepopulate-fields-on-a-standard-page-layout.html" target="_blank)

Is it only for edit page? How would you pre decide which picklist value to send in the URL for new records? Do you have any magic stick which decides that user is goona choose this particular picklist value, and you send that particular value to the URL??
thanks,
