Hello, my name is Cesar. I’m currently migrating from ArcGIS Pro and Field Maps + Survey123 to QGIS and QField. I’m developing forms for field data collection, and I’m a beginner in form development. I have a problem trying to auto-fill one question based on another. The current_value function doesn’t work for me, so I’m using attribute($currentfeature, ...) instead. The issue is that the question I’m using to condition the second one (which is giving me trouble) is based on a nested table, and the function that works is returning the ID of the table, not its code. I appreciate any comments in advance. I’m new to this software, but I really like the freedom it offers.
my QGIS version is 3.40.8
Cesar,
Glad to have you in the community! You are diving a bit beyond my expertise, but I did spot this blog post, https://woostuff.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/qgis-tips-custom-feature-forms-with-python-logic/ , which might give you some tips.

Hi Doug, thanks so much for taking your time to respond to this, I’ll check it out and let you know my comments.

You may want to take a look at Value Relation in the Attributes Form part of QGIS. You can set that up with your data and it should transfer over to QField.
