The Problem
Here's a common usability issue with Formidable Forms Pro lookup fields. I am trying to

Use Field 32 (e.g., a lookup field for a name) to automatically populate Field 23 (e.g., a category). Field 23 is already watching Field 32. Note, Field 23 is not visible until a value is entered in field 32

But even though the value shows up in Field 23’s dropdown after selecting from Field 32, it still requires the user to click and manually select the value.

What I want to achieve: The Goal:
As soon as Field 32 is selected, Field 23 should automatically select the corresponding value (not just show it in the dropdown).

What I have done

Below is a simple script I wrote to handle this, but it is not working.

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('#field_hnt7g').on('change', function() {
// Wait for Field 23 to become visible and populated
setTimeout(function() {
// Check if Field 23 is visible
if ($('#field_21m1c').is(':visible')) {
var selectedValue = $('#field_21m1c').val();
if (selectedValue) {
$('#field_21m1c').val(selectedValue).trigger('change');
}
}
}, 1000); // 1-second delay to allow conditional logic and lookup to complete
});
});
