Auto copy text fiels from one form to another

Hello guys,

Need your kind help please.

This project is for school - getting parents approval for each event that is created inhouse by the teachers. 

I have 2 forms that needs to be related. 

1 - https://form.jotform.me/82532404056450

2 - https://form.jotform.me/82501821056449

The first form is for teachers to create new Event. at the bottom of the form there is a textbox that summeries the information.

I need this textbox to apear in the second form (text & properties).

How can it be done? by API ?

 Also tried to follow your article.

and run this URL  : https://form.jotform.me/82501821056449?EventDetails={text_10}

The 2nd form Text object ID = "EventDetails"

Here is the resault : 

What am i missing here ?

It is possible to prepopulate the values of the first form into the second however it will require to include the link to the second form in the Thank you page of the first form. 

My colleague has described it in this thread. Also see our help guide: Prepopulating the fields to your JotForm via URL parameters

Hi,

I tried this out and i added a url link in the thank you page

https://form.jotform.me/82501821056449?EventDetails={text_10}

it doesnt work - the text_10 field is empty.

Can you please check it over ?

Thanks,

Gonen

In the thank you page, select Redirect to external link and then input the link to the second form with variables added at the end.

Refer to this guide: How to automatically pass form data to another form

Hi,

I tried it and it is not working.

The {text_10} still returns nothing.

Can you please help?

Thanks,

Gonen

You can't pass "Text" element into the field. However, you can pass the input field name like {teacher_name}, {event} and {location} into another forms field, but the whole Text element field can't be pass over.

I would suggest that you create a separate input field for each and copy those field names and put that into your thank you URL parameter so you can pass it into your 2nd form.

Let us know if you have any questions or if you need further assistance. 

Thanks for your help. 

I stiil have problem moving the Dates fields - how can it be done ?

You can use this URL to transfer your date data.

date[month]={date:month}&date[day]={date:day}&date[year]={date:year}

Make sure to replace the date with your date Unique name.
