Hello, I am trying to make another field automatically populated (without selecting on dropdown as the dynamic select lookup does) based on the selected field value on a first field.  
Example: I have Item\_tbl with fields item\_  
id, item\_sku and item\_name. order\_tbl with fields order\_itemid, order\_itemsku and order\_itemname.  
In order\_tbl, order\_itemsku is a lookup field from Item\_tbl.item\_sku. I am trying to utilize the Autofillinput to automatically populate the order\_itemname based on the user selected value on order\_itemsku but no luck. The goal is to automatically input the related field in the order\_itemname based on the user selected input in order\_item sku (without having to click on the dropdown on order\_itemname because it should be a text value and disabled so the user doesn’t need to worry about) and must update if the user change the value.
