Is there a way to auto-fill fields on one form based on the responses of a separate form?

    Hello!

    I was wondering if there is a way for me to generate a new form link that contains data submitted through another form. I am needing a smoother process for scheduling. The customer cannot be allowed to schedule on their own. That is to be done by and administrator. So, I am needing a way for, when they submit their information, a link can be generated to send the admin to a pre-filled form to then schedule a date.

    I have tried setting conditions for the date field, but when used with the edit link it still wouldn't show up.

    Right now, I am using two separate forms and having to manually input the information from the customer submitted form.

    I have thought to set a password option for the date field and have a Q&A before the form, but that didn't seem to save the information previously submitted.

    The link provided is the one available to the public. The one for admin is the same, but has a field for date selection at the top.

     

    Update:

    If anything else, is there possibly a way to customize the view when you go in to edit a form? For example, the customer fills out the provided form (link), then the admin receives an email with the edit link and the date could be made available there. I know I can set conditions for when emails are sent, and after the date is picked the customer would receive an confirmation email. I am brainstorming as I wait, so maybe I'll find a way. Thanks in advance!

    You may use URL parameters to pass data from one form to another using URL link.

    Here is a guide:-How-to-Automatically-Pass-Form-Data-to-Another-Form

    Sample URL parameter:?name[first]={name:first}&name[last]={name:last}&email={email}&answer={answer}

    Here is a sample form https://form.jotform.co/90384415778871, I have place a generated link in the Thank you page.
