Any docs that you think can help me code this?

Hi, Yes, it is possible, but requires customization.

PS: How to set the initial value (Automatically set default value for field): You need to add some conditions when setting the initial value.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

As Brad says. You will typically need a customization to do that. Or if you are in the cloud you can possible do things like that using Power Automate as well.

The question is vague in the sense of application use, generally you cannot set the default value of another field based on a value without a minor code adjustment. You can create an extension that subscribes to the onvalidate event of the "another field" and set the option value of the field.
