Take a look at this PR: Status updater for quotation/lost to lead, quotation lost to oppt, an… by aruizramon · Pull Request #5459 · frappe/erpnext · GitHub

In quotation.py you can see the method to update the status of Lead through the status_updater controller. You can extend the same functionality to whichever doctype you choose through that controller (or a custom one)!

Let me know if you need more help, this is a good starting point for you though.

You can also hook into the functionality and run a method to set the value on the other form. The advantage is that it’s easier, the disadvantage is that it isn’t called from the doc (as a class function) so you must remember to keep track of an additional place where a property is set ( = higher maintenance).

In hooks.py in your custom app:

doc_events = {
    "Doc you are getting value from": {
        "method_you_want_to_hook_into": "path_to_file_with_method.method_name"
    }
}

In the file that you used above:

method_name(doc, method): #hooks passes two arguments: the doc, and the name of the method
    #logic here to determine what value to set, and then maybe
    frappe.client.set_value("Doctype you want to change", "Docname you want to change", "fieldname", "value")

Hope this helps!
