Title says it all really.

I have a custom field that fetches data from a 3rd party API and renders a select component.

When the editor selects an option from this dropdown I want to fill in some other fields on the content item if they are don't already have a value.

Absolutely

#

You can do this inside your custom field component, with the hooks we expose: https://payloadcms.com/docs/admin/hooks

#

check out useFormFields, it should do what you need 👍
