Autofill metadatacard values after choosing earlier option from the list

Question

Hello, 
 
 I've been struggling with this problem for a while now and i would appreciate the help alot! 
 
 Customer wants that email (In finnish l&auml;hett&auml;j&auml;n s&auml;hk&ouml;postiosoite) and phonenumber (l&auml;hett&auml;j&auml;n puhelinnumero) information are automatically filled after choosing person from the list (atm chosed user is called Virpa V&auml;h&auml;l&auml;).

Phonenumber and email- informations are filled when person is created (Another object type and customer class called person). 
 Im kinda new with M-files (started working in this company less than 2 weeks ago). 
 
 I Hope this question makes sense and i will offer more information if needed. Thanks!

For dynamic filling of the properties, see the instructions in Automatic Filling of Properties . The properties on the document must be the same as on the Person object for this to work. 
 If the properties are not the same (e.g. you have "Email" on the Person object and a different property "Sender's email" on the document) then alternatively you can look into the Managed Properties module in Compliance Kit (a separate add-on application). This auto-calculated values functionality would copy the property values to the document when the changes are saved to the server (ie. not dynamically when the user selects the person on the metadata card).
