Generate Prefill URLs in Tables instead of going to Publish tab in Builder.

    I think it would be great to allow pre-fill URL columns to be inserted into tables. In other words to have the ability to insert a column into a table of one form (say application form) and for this column to automatically generate a URL which is a link to a pre-filled second form (say legal contract to be signed by the original applicant). It would simplify workflow of application and subsequent approval and legal contract generation.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out to us!

    Kindly note that it's already possible to generate Prefill URLs for forms using data from Tables.

    Related guide: How-to-prefill-form-fields-with-data-from-other-tables-with-table-prefill

    However, it's not possible currently to have those Prefill URLs generated within Tables. We can escalate this as a feature request to our developers, but first, we need you to provide us with more information about what you have in mind so we can deliver it along.

    We're patiently waiting for your response.

    No, this is not what I mean. I understand that it is possible in terms of functionality. I am saying that it would be great if it was possible to have a field in the table which contains the pre-filled URL. From a workflow perspective this information can then be used in different ways and the process is simpler than to go back to forms->publish etc etc. It allows someone to manage the workflow in the tables view.
