Hello,
I've this form

there is a lookup wizard field (News title) based on a table (id, title): link field: id, display field: title.
I need, when the user choices the option, to copy the display field into field named test.
It's possible?
Thank's

Yes, it is possible. Use Field Events.

Yes, I've tried the field event with the getPeer function but return the link field.

var ctrlTest = ctrl.getPeer('test');
var ctrlTitle = ctrl.getPeer('NewsTitle');
ctrlTest.setValue(ctrlTitle.getValue());
return false;

Could you use the autofill feature in the lookup wizard?

Click the autofill button and then select the title to fill in your test field. Make sure to check the box for the edit page too if you need it to be used on the edit page.
