@NelishaJ 

you can use onchange client script and use getReference with callback

something like this

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
	if (isLoading) {
		return;
	}
	if(newValue == ''){
		g_form.clearValue('email');	// email variable name here
	}

	var ref = g_form.getReference('requested_for', callBackMethod);	// requestedFor variable name
}

function callBackMethod(ref){
	if(ref.email)
		g_form.setValue('email', ref.email); // email variable name here
}

@NelishaJ 

use this and no script is required

Auto-populate a variable based on a reference type variable (Utah)
