I think this is a very similar question which might provide you an answer for what you are looking for. At this point it is not yet verified, but I think the answers you see there should give you the right approach on how to implement this.
Basically you need to use SDK.REST to retrieve the data from the related entity, and get the Guid of the entity you are looking for, and then populate the lookup field from the value you retrieved from the REST call.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
When a user enters a value in our website that is updated in the "Code" field which is a text field.
We want the information updated in the "ID" field which is a look up field for that code.
We wanted the CRM to get the value from "Code" field to "ID" field.
Do you this is this possible?
Thanks

Hi Pranav,
basically there is no direct way of doing it. if you use javascript or plugin in both ways- you will have to first search for the right lookup record using the text value and if you find it then you have the set the lookup field.
you cant directly give lookup a text field as it needs a guid.
