How to prepopulate form using URL Parameter?

using Healthy Lawn's 5-Step Regular Lawn Service Quote & Signup Form with Optional Service form

when i change the paragraph text in the form it will always show up the same for anyone reopening their quote. its ok if the recipient opens before i change it for the next quote.

I need a way to fill the form with the text (This quote is for John Smith) then when I do another quote and I change the name it wont change it for everyone opening their quote

I guess I need the ability to enter a default value

Hi vettold1, 

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. If I understand you correctly, you want to prepopulate the first element on your form. It is possible by prepopulating it using URL parameter. Let me show you how:

• In Form Builder, click the Short Text Element and click the Gear Icon.
• Click Advanced tab, then click the Downward Icon and remember the Unique Name. You will use it in prepopulating your form.

To prepopulate your form based on the first element, you can use the URL below:

https://form.jotform.com/241064721224951?typeA235=This%20quote%20is%20for%20John%20Smith

Where typeA235 is the field and the value is after the equals sign. Keep in mind that the %20 is equal to a space.

This is what it looks like when using the URL:

Give it a try and let us know if you have any other questions.
