    Hi Bruno,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can use our Jotform Tables Prefill features, which allows users to use data from your Jotform Tables to prepopulate fields on your other form. Here's how to do that:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Publish in the orange navigation bar.
    2. Go to Prefill, and select Tables Prefill.
    3. Select a Table where the data should come from, and map your table’s columns to your form fields.
    4. Click on Save Settings once done mapping.
