Populate Record Producer variables based on another variable

I'll make this short just as an example. I have a record producer which has the variables below.

Variable 1:
resolution_ticket_number
- Lookup from u_another_table using reference type which has a field with the same information as the field below in variable 2 and is also a string field.

Variable 2:
u_certain_number_2
- String field


When the user is filling out the record producer fields, I would like to populate variable 2 with the data in the table from variable 1.

Anyone have any ideas on this? I've re-pasted the info below.

I've tried several different ways and searched the community and wiki, but still no results. Below is a pasted layout if you or someone else has time to review. Thank you!

***Record Producer :***
Uses table u_lending_services_air. Sends data from record producer to that table.

Variables:
• resolution_desk_number ---- lookup reference from u_lending_services table
• cst_ticket_number --- string field
• customer_name --- string field
• account_loan_number --- string field

***Table 1: u_lending_services***

Variables:
• number --- string with default value "javascript:getNextObjNumberPadded();" which increments 1 number for each ticket
• u_cst_ticket_number --- string field
• u_customer_name --- string field
• u_loan_number --- string field

***GOAL: ***
1. User chooses a Resolution Desk Number from the lookup box that pulls from the u_lending_services table.
2. A script will run to pull the information FROM the u_lending_services table FOR the number chosen and populate that ticket's information in the record producer variable fields mentioned above.

I figured it out!

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

if (!isLoading){
// make async server call to look at the Resolution Desk Number chosen from a lookup on the u_lending_services table
g_form.getReference('resolution_desk_number', handleCallback);
}
}
//Set the values in the record producer fields from the various field values on the ticket chosen above.
function handleCallback(result) {
g_form.setValue('account_loan_number', result.u_loan_number);
g_form.setValue('original_requestor', result.u_caller);
g_form.setValue('loan_amount', result.u_amount);
g_form.setValue('customer_name', result.u_customer_name);
g_form.setValue('cst_ticket_number', result.u_cst_ticket_number);
}
