6 years agoWhen you say you want to auto fill a field, do you just mean that you want to display a formula field on a form? Or did you want the value of the formula field populated into a data entry field?

I just want the value of the formula field populated into a data entry field. I created a field that I'm using for reporting purposes, and what's driving the population of the field, is the entry of a data on a form.

OK, so you will need to have a Dynamic Form Rule. In order for the rule to work, that formula field will need to be on the form, even if it's in a hidden section.
The form rule would look like.
When multiple conditions are true
ALL of the following
[my data entry field] is blank
[my formula field is not blank]
Change the value of the [my data entry field] to the value in the field [my formula field].
then uncheck the checkbox at the bottom of he form so that the rule fires all the time.

The field that's getting populated is not on the form. Does that matter?

Probably does mater. Why not put it on the form, in read only mode if you like.
