# Load Data from Another Bloc

The “Load Data from Another Bloc” feature in Blocworx allows a field to be automatically populated by dynamically matching a local field’s value with a record from another bloc, either within the same module or a different one.

| Field                                        | Description                                                                                                                               |
| -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Enable External Bloc Data                    | Activates the lookup feature to allow pulling data from another bloc.                                                                     |
| Prevent Data from being saved                | Prevents this field from storing data in the current record — it acts purely as a reference.                                              |
| If Saving Data, Choose Data Display Priority | lets you control **which value should be displayed and saved** in the field when both **local data and** **external data** are available. |
| Default Data if no matching record found     | Enter a fallback value if no match is found. Use `IGNORE` if you don't want anything filled in.                                           |
| Type Module Name                             | Allows you to reference a bloc from another module. Leave blank to use the current module                                                 |
| Select Bloc                                  | Choose which bloc the data will come from.                                                                                                |
| Select Field                                 | Choose which field in that bloc you want to pull data **from**.                                                                           |
| Local Field to Check                         | The field in the current form whose value will be used to search for a match.                                                             |
| Field to Look Up                             | The field in the external bloc that must match the local field's value.                                                                   |
