    Here is the solution I found that I want to share with all of you

    for example if you have a prepopulated form with some data that you want to share with your customer :

    see this example

    http://form.jotformpro.com/63438996618979?input1=Cleopatra&input2=Ceasar&input3=24

    It's along time I was looking for this

    If the support team could check that it works ad pass this to the tips and hints of the application

    It would be great to have an input menu on text zones like in the Thank-you page, to have this available to all users easily.

    Sorry for the "anglais de cuisine" french expression untranslatable that wants to mean that I speak English like I cook, will only what I find in the fridge.

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm not sure if you already know that you can use field names in the Thank You page. You may also use the "Form Fields" drop down to capture the field name automatically.

    Hope that helps. Thank you.

    This I know I wanted to mean that you could add the form field wizard in the textfield editor, like it is on the thankyou page, this would be more simple for regular users to get the field contents like I did in my demo file (idea to pass to developers.

    I have sent a feature request to our back-end team to have the "Form Fields" drop down in the Text field:
