Chosing customer adds customer information to project request

A project request should allow to chose the customer name from a dropdown. After having done so the information attributed to that customer in custom fields (e.g. website, phone number, NDA, special requirements etc.) should be added to the project request.

I just uploaded a comment about this a few days ago. It would be great to just pull from Microsoft access instead of re-creating any databases. Pulling from an established database and choosing the fields to add as custom would make it much easier to use.

Of course I agree and I wanted to suggest an initial step that would be easiert to implement by the Wrike team. Rather have a solution that can be introduced quickly than waiting a long time before an interface to an external database might be implemented.

Yeah, I understand that, I was just adding to it as they have already proved capable at integrating with some Microsoft products.

Could this be achieved by adding a wrike team member or collaborator selection as a type of question?  They can choose or @type themselves, and the selected remaining fields auto populate from the information in their wrike account...

You would need to build out some more information on each collaborator/user profile, but you already have their name and email - if you gave an option to add phone number, budget number, (any number of other fields really) etc. to the collaborator's account.

Thanks for adding these ideas here! I had a question for everyone: are the forms we're discussing here internal or external in your use case?

Right now, the majority of people who fill out the form are either external or only a collaborator for us.
