ComboBox selection and auto fill other fields
I am working with large documents whereby the same information is entered several times (usually names). To automate this, I thought i could devise a ComboBox with additional dependent fields in the document which would change depending on the selected entry. See below picture for an illustrated reference:
As a secondary feature I would also like to, instead of adding the entries manually to the Combobox, use a different source such as XLS or TXT.
I am stumped and have no Idea how to set up these dependencies (if possible at all)
