Dynamically Populate Name Field From Other Form

    I searched on the forum and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so forgive me if this has been asked before.

    What I'm trying to do is create a medical records set of forms. The first form is to input the patients info, name, contact, ect... whatever... the other forms are to update the client. So lets say my second form I'm creating is to add a diagnosis to the patient named John Doe. What I want to do is have a name field on all the other forms that autopopulate from data from the first form. So If I create a patient named John Doe with the first form then when I go to add a diagnosis in the second form and start typing his name in the name field it auto suggests his name.

    How would I do this?

    Thanks

  2. This is possible but it requires custom code. There is a solution and code snippet for this type of functionality located in this forum post:

    The example is even similar to what you described, only instead of listing patients it is listing physicians. Just customize it to suit your needs.
