  You might mean cascading drop-downs. Yes, you can implement such logic with help of Forms Designer and Cross-site Lookup. Please, get more information in my post:

  Hi Dimitry,

   

  My question is not related on SP 2013. I am asking If can do that on SP 2010?

   

  Thanks

  Hi Dmitry,

   

  Appologies I explained that wrongly on my first post. What I really need to do is to default some choices based on other choices. This is the correct scenario: I have 2 or more look up fields and when I choose my opion on the first one I need the others to be preselected (get a default value) acording to the first selection. Or fill 2 other text fields with the default answers. To make it more clear let me give you an example. Lets say I have a field that holds different types of ropes and 2 other fields that have the sizes of the ropes. What I need is when I select the rope type to get the size of the rope set by default on the other fields. Is that possible using SP Forms?

   

  I hope all the above make sence.

   

  Thanks

  [#3]: Yes, it makes sense.

  You can prepopulate fields based on other fields via JavaScript. Sample:

   
  
  // handle Field1 changing
  fd.field('Field1').change(function() {
  	var val = fd.field('Field1').value();
  	switch (val) {
  		case 1:
  			// populating Field2 based on Field 1 
  			fd.field('Field2').value('Default value 1');
  			break;
  		case 2:
  			// populating Field2 based on Field 1
  			fd.field('Field2').value('Default value 2');
  			break;
  	}
  });
  

  You can send the detailed requirements to [email protected] and we will estimate your task.
