Does SPServices cater for filling in fields from another list

dprivitelli opened this issue · comments

Hi,

I am currently using SPCascadeDropdowns & SPDisplayRelatedInfo. Is there a way of having something similar to the SPDisplayRelatedInfo which automatically fills in the fields in the current Form from another list based on the selection of the dropdown please?

@dprivitelli, that's basically what SPDisplayRelated info does: based on the selection in the dropdown, it shows additional information fro the lookup list.

Yes I agree. However, I need to get that data and use it to fill other fields, because that data will not be stored in the list but just displayed and I need to store it. Can it be done somehow?

Your need is a specific requirement that the generic function doesn't provide. It's absolutely possible, but you'll need to write the code for it.
