We use a so called "virtual field" - just an arbitrary field we set up with Registration Control. Why "virtual"? Because the field is not defined on the form via field definition, but is used in rules to "initiate" some action(s) and/or behavior
In this case we call it virtualField (could have any name) and our form has afield definition rule to lookup the value for the smart field in another form based on the value (preset) given to this virtual field
