Need multiple drop down menus to populate text in one text box

Question

Not sure how to do this. I have 27 drop down boxes with the choice of true or false. What I need is that everytime someone chooses false it will create a list of subjects that were false at the end of the document in the notes section.
I tried a simple false export value and on blur - run a java script 'this.getField('NOTES: Resource concerns').value = event.value;', but it will replace the previous drop down boxes subject. Is there a way for me to get multiple lines included in the notes section?
Thank you

This is quick and from memory, i can't test it right now, but it should give you an idea. Put this in a document level script:
function SetNotesField() {
     // Set up a variable to hold the entire NOTES field value
     var Notes
     // Add the value for each dropdown box here (replace 'GetValueFor_SE_FieldHere' with the value you will use for that dropdown)
     if (this.getField('SE').value == 'true') {
          Notes = Notes + 'GetValueFor_SE_FieldHere' + '\r'  // add a carriage return if needed
     if (this.getField('SQ').value == 'true') {
          Notes = Notes + 'GetValueFor_SQ_FieldHere' + '\r'  // add a carriage return if needed
    //...Duplicate the above for any other fields you need
     // Set the value of the notes field to the concatenated value for all dropdowns.
     this.getField('NOTES').value = Notes
For each dropdown field, add the following to the 'OnBlur' event:
SetNotesField()
