Request is essentially for Lookups. Ability to populate the contents of several fields from the selection of another field. Scenario: When entering an order I want to select the applicable product from a drop-down list. Once the product is selected the application should automatically populate the product description field and the price on the input form and save in the database. ---

I'm surprised this is not handled within the system already. This would be a huge benefit to our business and would also appreciate any news on this topic. [ewingama@gmail.com](mailto:ewingama@gmail.com)  ---

I have also build an app where this feature would be helpful ---

Yes I need this feature too. I assume right now knack doesn't allow text formula fields to be displayed in form but it does allow equation. I don't know why? May be you can show the price using number equation but description is not possible.  ---
