    Hello, I am prefilling information from a previously prefill document but the information is not transferring over, how can I go around this issue?

    Hello Juan,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Can you please let us know the URL of the forms involved with the issue? Also, how are you prefilling the form? Are you using our Prefill feature? Or are you prefilling the form via URL?

    I am using the prefill feature and some questions are not even showing up to be prefilled.

    I also wanted to ask how to transfer multiple selection answers to a new form through the prefill option.

    Hello Juan,

    If I am understanding your concern correctly, the Prefilled form below does not work.

    Can you please share to us the link you are redirected to when you click View Form?

    Hello Juan,

    Thank you for providing additional information. In order for us to validate everything, can you check if there's prefill information filled out in your form? To do that, in your approval flow, hover your mouse over the form and click the gear icon.

    Try enabling this and then seeing if the form is prefilled when you reach this point in the approval flow.

    As an additional measure, I have cleared the form cache for you to avoid any temporary cache issues.

    Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.

    Yes this has already been done and it is still not working.
