    My form at https://form.jotform.us/70950806184156, how can I make it so that the pre-filled fields clear after each use?

    Hello,

    As far as I understand, you want to set prefilled values to the fields. However, they have to be cleared while users are entering another information.

    You can set placeholders to the fields as you can see the screencast below:

    You can set placeholders to the fields in V4 Form Builder as you can see the screenshot below:

    I hope this helps.

    Please elaborate the issue further if I misunderstand and the issue is something different.

    Thanks in advance.

    Not exactly....If I use the form to send to several different people at one
    time, but need to pre-fill some of the fields differently on each form,
    how would I do that? Would I have to just make several cloned forms unique
    for each person I send to?
