How to populate a read only text field on form 1 with the matching value from a smart lookup field

Jen Severado March 3, 2025

I have two forms. The "Lookup" form which is populated with a list of team names and their corresponding team email address (one to one relationship). The Release form which will be submitted by the user, has two fields. The Team Name field is a smart dropdown that shows all the team names from the Lookup form. The second field is called Team Email.

My question is- How do I make it so the Team Email field auto populates based on the selected Team Name and also make it read-only?

Hi @Jen Severado 

Can have a https://wiki.vertuna.com/spaces/CONFIFORMS/pages/21234020/ConfiForms+Field+Definition+Rules#ConfiFormsFieldDefinitionRules-Setvalue rule set on the TeamName field and with parameters as follows

TeamEmail=[entry.TeamName.Lemail]

That is if you want to copy the value from the Lemail field into the TeamEmail for some reason

As, actually, through the smart field you can always access any field directly, for example, when creating a view over the Release form you can always have a ConfiForms Field macro added with a field name set to TeamName.Lemail to access the Lemail field that corresponds to the TeamName

@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ Thank you for replying. I tried your solution but it still shows the complete list of emails on the drop down. Do I need to change the TeamEmail field to a Text field instead of a Smart Dropdown field?

actually I just did that and it works!! Thank you so much. Can I ask another question?

 

My form has 3 fields, Project Name, Version, and Project URL. I want to add a button called Add Another Project that when clicked shows another set of the same fields (Project Name, Version and Project URL). And if those are populated then the button would appear again and so on.

Can you help me with that? or is there a better way to add multiple projects and their corresponding fields?
