Hi,
You can use Javascript code to retrieve data from another entity and set the values to the form.
See the code in the community thread below.

Hope it helps you to find the solution.
Hello rdfmorr,
you will need to write a JavaScript function that runs on Load of the form,
This function will have to retrieve data from the other entity.
To do this will will need the entity name and Guid of the entity you want to retrieve from,
i.e from a lookup value in your form.
Here are a couple of articles to help you on your way, hope it helps:

Hi,
You can use OData query designer to design your OData query and can select which field you want to retrieve.
