How to pass field value to thank you page?

    I'm trying to create a form that allows a person to first enter family information, and then add multiple children's information according to how many are needed. Some families would have one, some families might have 5 or more.

    I've tried the different elements like a table, etc., but found them confusing - I'd really just like the information entered into a traditional form for each kid.

    This information is being stored via Zapier into an AirTable table - the family info in one table, and each child as their own record in another table.

    Is there any way to make a form with this repeatable-section process?

    Right now, I've got one form for the family info, which sends it to another form for the child - but I can't get the child form to send the info linking the family to the child form for another entry. The first time, from the Family page, is fine.

    How can I make the form give a link option on the Thank You page that would pass the linking information to a blank form, should they want to add another child? It has to be an option, not automatic. My attempts with {bracketedFormFieldNames} inside html have failed.

    Is there any way to make a form with this repeatable-section process?

    Just to clarify, form 1 will send the information to form 2 and form 2 will send the information back to form 1, correct? My question, would the information sent to form 2 from form 1 will be the same?

    Ex.

    Form 1 to Form 2 = pass the full name and email

    Form 2 to Form 1 = pass the same information (full name and email)

    How can I make the form give a link option on the Thank You page that would pass the linking information to a blank form, should they want to add another child?

    When passing information using a link to your thank you page, have you tried getting the field names of the fields? Did it not prompt the field value after submit?

    Looking forward for your response.

    In answer to the first question: No - the flow is, Family info -> Child info -> [family info sent to] Child info -> [family info sent to] Child info -> [family info sent to] Child info -> ...as many children as they have. My question is, can this be accomplished with only one single form submission instead of multiple submissions - without the use of tables or other non-standard form widgets?

    In answer to the second question: If you examine the source for the Thank You page, you'll see that {parents}, containing the info that previously was passed successfully from form1 (Family) to the just-successfully-submitted form2, is supposed to be passed on again through the "Add Another Kid" button - to a new, blank form2 - and yet, it does not get passed. From my vantage point it should be the exact same URL that form1 sent successfully to form2. But for whatever reason I can't get it to repeat itself.

    I made a demo form https://form.jotform.com/80566633227964 for this.

    Please try test submit the form and let us know if it matches what you need.

    We can discuss more after your evaluation of the form.
