I want to autocomplete a dropdown lookup field, based on the email address passed in the url, eg. https://www.the-domain.com/?pass_entry=xcbpr&email=test@abc.com

So the dropdown will have a list of entries from another form (Company, company email), but autocomplete/selected based on the domain name used in the email (so everything after the @).

So the lookup dropdown field on the form would be auto-selected as 'ABC', if they had a 'abc.com' email address.

Is anything like this at all possible?

It's possible with custom code called in this hook: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/frm_setup_new_fields_vars/

Thanks, any pointers on how to get there? I've got stuck at getting the lookup to pull the correct company name based on the email to my form, let alone getting it to select this in the dropdown...
