Adding an Item where selecting checkboxes populates a textbox field with information

Question

I have a Sharepoint List with columns "name", "date", "stage", "information".

"stage" is a checkbox column and "information" is a multi-line text box.

Is it possible when a "stage" checkbox is selected while creating new item, form will populate the "information" text box with some default information for the user to see?

If so, how would I implement this functionality?

Thanks!

Using OOTB functionality it is not possible. To achieve this you need to write custom code and add it in script editor or content editor on new form. — Ganesh Sanap - MVP, Oct 26 '18 at 03:37
@Gary Where the information will be stored/ from where you need to get the information? — Sohail Shaikh, Oct 26 '18 at 04:53

Yes it is possible. You can attach JSLink to the list-view wepbart with custom code which will handle this functionality. You can see some other examples here: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Client-side-rendering-JS-2ed3538a

I can't seem to find list-view webpart in the create item form. I'm doing this through the website. Is there a tool I should use? I am completely new to SharePoint. – Gary Zhu Oct 26 '18 at 20:52
It is done in other way: you want to develop JSLink which will run on new item creation. Below are the examples how you can accomplish it:
