How can I pre-populate a field via the form URL?

    Hi we have a webpage set up with a bunch of available registration dates that are hyperlinked to a registration form using jotform and I'm wondering if it's possible when a user clicks on a given date if it could auto-populate that selected date into the jotform's date field so it's one less step for them to select the date again?

    Also, we have a list of open seats next to each event and would ideally like to have the number of those seats auto-update as people sign up so it reflects for a user how many seats are left. Is that possible using jotform?
