How to auto-populate fields in a form based on a drop down menu?

Fabian.Murcia · 06/13/20

Hi, I am trying to create a form based on a list of where for instance, one account has different line of business only applicable to that account, I would like these to be shown once the account is selected from a drop down menu. I was thinking on a VLOOKUP formula but I don't see how I can use this is the form creator.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi Fabian,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment because there isn't a two-way link between the form and the sheet, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

As a possible workaround, you could (depending on how many accounts you have) use so-called helper columns, and the Conditional Logic feature shows the options after each account is selected.

Another option could be a 3rd party solution/integration.

Would any of those options work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,
