I have a combo box and an input text box. I populate the combo box using XML with a xml connector, so far everything works great.

What I want to do is that when an option is chosen by the user, automatically the data of the item shows up on the input text area

This is my xml:

```auto
<Provinces>
<province label=" Select your project " data=" project "/>
<province label=" Quebec " data=" Quebec "/>
<province label=" San Jose " data=" San Jose "/>
</Provinces>

```

How can I achieve that? :-/

Thanks!!
