  Hey @Invest_it ! You could implement this with a UI field if you'd like however a better alternative could be the following - using 3 fields:

  
  

  - Add a radio button to determine how to populate the field

  ["byGroup", "bySelection"]
  

  - When

  byGroup

  is selected - conditionally render a select with groups. Then you'd need to wire up a

  beforeChange

  hook to fetch and fill the relationship field with the ids of the ones in that group.

  
  

  - When an individual is selected: show the relationship field.

  
  
  

  What do you think?

  Great ideas! How do you create a filed hook that is reactively triggered based on the selection of another field tho? I can't seem get the field hooks to trigger when the same field is edited not to talk about when another field is updated.

  @KasparTr you would have to use a custom component and update it based on the value of another field. We have some docs that go into detail describing our react hooks so you can tie into the state of the form and update the state of fields. Check em out here and let me know if you run into anything!
