Pull field data from a drop down list field with related data

I have a schedule of sorts that i'm creating in infopath. I put in a
repeating table with 4 columns. the first column is a drop down list of
preset names, the second, third and fourth columns are data entry where they
can enter date, start time and end time respectively to the right of the drop
down list. I need that if i select "door time" from the drop down list, the
door time data (date, start time, end time) to appear automatically later in
the form.

how the heck do i do that?

Your question is not entirely clear to me, but if you are looking to lookup
data in a repeating table that you've previously filled in, you can use a
technique similar to the one described in this article:

The only issue is, since you would be doing a lookup based on the values in
the drop-down list box in the first column of the repeating table, you must
make sure that the value you select from the drop-down list box in the
repeating table is unique in the entire repeating table, that is, no
duplicate selections. For this you can use a technique similar to the one
described in this article:
