Prepopulate form using another but generate a separate record on the second form

    I cloned the forms from this example: https://www.jotform.com/help/351-How-to-Automatically-Pass-Form-Data-to-Another-Form


    I know you have an app for this but my question is when the second form populates the data, I need the second form to generate a record. 


    Form 1 is filled out and then it populates form 2 but when you submit form 2, no record is generated.  I need the second form to generate a Unique ID and ask additional questions.  I added the Unique ID field to Form 2 but it doesn't generate a submission or an email to the user.


    Is it possible to populate a second form AND generate a submission? 

    I need a submission for BOTH forms which will generate their own Unique IDs.

    I have checked your form and the issue might be with the form you're redirecting.

    Checking from your redirect link, you're not redirecting to your second form https://www.jotform.us/form/93384948910166.

    Ah, ok that did it!

    Is it possible to conditionally go to a new form after submit?  This is a contract situation and I don't always need the second page (second form).  Could the form simply submit the first form and be done if certain criteria were met on form 1 and not fire form 2? Or does it always have to pass information to Form 2?

    Yes, it is possible to conditionally go to the next form.

    You may use the  Change Thank you page URL condition.

    Sample condition:
