Populating other fields in a form when select a field

[chiacy]

i have an invoice item form where the item are picked up from job collection. i.e. user to select the job name from the insert invoice item form, then relevant information in invoice item form is filled accordingly, i.e. description, quantity and amount.

Wonder how to achieve this?

Maybe to set default value to be lookup collection's field for form fields that should be automatically filed.

field:

{
  "name": "description",
  "default": "{{jobs.description}}"
}

I did the same with an event

"change select[name=productId]": function(event, template) {
  var prodId = $(event.target).val();

  product = Products.findOne(prodId);

  if (product && product.unitPrice) {
    var unitPriceInput = $('input.form-control[name=unitPrice]')[0];
    if (unitPriceInput) {
      unitPriceInput.value = product.unitPrice
    }
  }
}

ps. loving meteor-kitchen. @perak, keep up the good job!
