Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Unfortunately this is something that will require complete custom code to achieve.

The custom code that will be required to do this is out of the scope of our support forum. However you will need to use the hook below as a starting point.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
