  There is a "linked" field type that sounds maybe close to what you want:

  Thanks, I looked at it, but it seemed to only fill another dropdown list, did I misunderstand something ?

  It should act similar to a slug field in that the values from one field will be used to fill out another field (with a specified function applied to it like "mirror", "strtotupper", "strtolower", "slug).

  What I would like to do :

  • when i create a new invoice in the invoice module, I have a dropdown list with all the customers, and when I select a customer, I would like to fill in the address fields from the invoice with the address values from the customer database
  • when I fill in a date field for a new invoice, I would like to fill in another date field (calculated depending on the customer information in the database)

  I am almost sure I will have to do ajax calls, but I am not sure how to do this in the Fuel CMS framework.

  I would take a look at creating a custom field in which you can import and associate your own Javascript:

  hello, do you have any example to point me in the right direction ? I searched all the existing modules for something similar, but have not found.

  The core fuel and forms module has some examples. You can add your own in the fuel/application/config/custom_fields.php file:
