I think there are two sensible approaches to this: 1. Write some customer javaScript and set the values of your form fields based on the first field 2. Use a form wizard, form 1 contains the base word, form 2 contains all the various variants. As you generate form 2 after 1, you are able to use the input to create the standard via a default value. There is a discussion on this at stackoverflow as well. HTH
