Problems populating second form

    Asked on June 27, 2019 at 10:10 AM

    Hi there,

    I have created two forms so I can users can save and continue. 

    The first form is a simple registration form and the second form is a full appication. I have set up the URL to continue the session but I want the name and email to be carried forward to the new form but the name  only appears in the first name text box on the second form.

    I have tried various things, following examples of other users having same problem but it isn't working for me.

    Can you help?

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

    Guide:https://www.jotform.com/help/351-How-to-Automatically-Pass-Form-Data-to-Another-Form

    I have checked your form and you may use this URL parameter:

    https://www.jotformeu.com/form/91744107617357?8name[first]={name:first}&8name[last]={name:last}&email={email}

    You may add the URL parameter in your Thank you page or autoresponder.

    Please give it a try and let us know if the issue still remains.

    Do I not need to keep ?session={email}  as part of the URL so people can save and continue?

    Update 

    Unfortunately this didn't make any difference. The full name only appears in the first name box of the second form.

    Any other suggestions?

    The URL parameter is working correctly at my end.

    https://form.jotformeu.com/91744107617357?session={email}&8name[first]={name:first}&8name[last]={name:last}&email={email}

    Can you please try redirecting through the Thank you page?

    Hi there,


    Afraid the same problem exists using Google Chrome. I tried safari but the name didn't carry forward at all, although the email did.

    Any further suggestions? It's only a minor issue, really but would love to get right.

    Thanks in advance
