Autopopulate a field with value provided in record producer

[Cindy Sim]

I have variable in record producer; if choice 'A' is selected in that variable, it should auto populate 'Location' field in incident with Value 'B'. Value B is not in choice list for Location. Is there a way to auto populate 'Location' with Value 'B' without adding it to the choice list and without effecting any other choices?

Assuming Location is a reference field, so unless the location actually exists you cannot populate it in the field.

Hi Anurag, 

Would it be possible to do it if it was not a reference field? Do you have any suggestion on how to do it on non reference field/ just choice field ?

[Anurag Tripathi]

Yes it would be possible, can you show some screenshot for your field and forms. The choices etc

Say for example if add is selected in the variable field then could we make 'subcategory' field auto populate with 'ABC' which is not in a choice list of this field.
