I am new to Nintex. 

I have a SharePoint list with 4 different columns.  On my Nintex form I have drop downs from that SharePoint list, Category & Item. 

Once the Category is chosen certain items populate from that choice and once you select the item I need the item number and unit of measure to populate automatically. 

How do I go about doing this?  I am sorry if this is posted already but I was not able to find it anywhere.  Example of my list is attached.

Hi Arielle,

 

There are several ways you can accomplish populating a field based on a specific option you've selected in a drop-down.  However, I found a great article using list lookups that would easily help you with your solution.

If you have any further questions or need some additional help, please let me know.

Thanks,
John
