control picklist from another object using trigger

I have a picklist on Contacts that needs to control a picklist on a custom object. I've heard that a trigger is the way to go because I can change it before the new record is created. I've tried to create that but so far, no luck.

    Before it's inserted into the database, but after you save. Pressing save is only the beginning of that commitment process. 

     

    For the type of logic you're trying to create, you'd need a custom page/component that would fetch the value from the contact as soon as it's selected, and update the picklist. That's a lot more development.
