The Form fields are not populating via the Spreadsheet to Form widget

    I have tried to use this widget and I select the unique key. It says "Fields Have Been Auto Filled" but I check the fields that are labeled with the column headers and nothing shows up. Did I miss a step in the setup?

    Form address is https://form.jotform.com/200637636093153

    Could you please ensure that form labels is same as the column name in the Spreadsheet. Also, they are in sequence.

    Please take a look at this guide:

    Thanks.

    I have checked and the column names and the form fields are labeled the same. The form fields are also listed in the same order as they are in the Excel Sheet.

    I sent a replay through email as requested and have not gotten a response to this issue. I ran a test again today and a couple of the form fields filled but the rest didn't. Any solution to this?

    Hi,

    I have verified that you are able to send us an email but the form link is the only attachment that we have received. I believe my colleague is requesting to share with us the excel file for your Spreadsheet.

    To verify, are you still referring to this form, 200637636093153? I checked all your forms but I can't seem to find the fields that match the columns on your spreadsheet.  

    Kindly provide us the form's link and fields you are trying to prepopulate using the spreadsheet? 

    Thank you. Looking forward to your response.

    Yes that is the one that I am referring to. The columns I am looking at are:

    Name

    Salary

    Action

    Comedy

    Drama

    Hype

    Thank you for the additional information.

    It's because of the colon (:) on the field labels that are not on the column labels of your spreadsheet that is causing the issue.

     The Column Names on your sheet should match the Field Labels on your form.

    Please try to add the colon symbol on the spreadsheet or remove the ones on the form, it should fix the issue.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
