See also: Prefill
You can prepopulate your form fields by including the query strings in the URL. The query component is indicated by the first question mark (“?”) followed by the query parameters in the URL. Multiple query parameters are separated by the ampersand (“&”). The parameters are in key-value pairs where “key” is the field’s unique name and “value” is the field’s prefill value.
For example, here’s a form with fields prepopulated via query parameters:
https://www.jotform.com/220631153630039?name[first]=Jane&name[last]=Doe&email=jane.doe@jotform.com&interests=News,Health,SportsThis also works on embedded forms:
https://jotformer.blogspot.com/2022/10/signup-form.html?name[first]=Jane&name[last]=Doe&email=jane.doe@jotform.com&interests=News,Health,SportsGenerating Form URL with Query Parameters
To identify the accepted query strings or parameters on your form
- Open Field Prepopulator, then select Populate Fields at the bottom.
- In the Authorize dialog, select Allow.
- In the Form Picker dialog, choose your form, then select Continue in the lower-right corner.
- On the next page, provide the prefill values for your form by entering them in the form fields.
- Finally, select Generate URL at the top and copy the generated URL.
Note: For hidden fields, you can manually add them as parameters in the URL by identifying their unique names. To learn more, see Field IDs and Unique Names.
Share the generated URL with your users or use the URL structure as a template for prepopulating your form via query parameters from other sources.

Hi team,
I trust you're doing well,
I was hoping you could help us ?..or send us some documentation on how to Atuo Populate flieds,
we're running an Wound Care clinic, ..and found a nice Wound Care Assessment form here on Jotform's,
we would like to select an patient's name, ..(top of the form), and ALL the patient's info, ..like surname/ address/ contact details/ medical history ect....needs to auto populate, ...then we can carry on with the patient's assessment...
this will save allot of time, when doing patient assessments
thanks in advance for the feedback,
Best Regards
Brandon,
Is there any way to pass the URL slug of a website as a URL parameter? For example, I have a lead capture form on every blog post on my website, and I'd like to track which pages they're coming from specifically. So I'd like to pass everything after my website's domain into this parameter so when they're saved into my CRM I can organize by what pages of my site are getting the best lead conversions.
Does anyone know how the responses are ranked?
I have done one of those and it shows a list of all the responses multiple times, in reality I just want to know which response was dragged to the top etc
Users who leave their form and then return to work on it -- can they use this generated URL to edit their form without losing past progress?
I use ActiveCampaign to send emails and would love to be able to pre-populate JotForms with data from ActiveCampaign, so that our users don't have to do the heavy-lifting of form filling. But is that possible with this new feature or would this require a future integration?
I’m prepopulatimg user information with custom url. Works great.
What I’m trying to do is add a couple invisible ID in background so when they finish form, the returning websocket will include those ID and so I can match response to a specific row ID in my database .
I’ve done this by having a page at the end with these variables I need returned and hiding that page. This is super clunky and prone to errors/typos…. Is there a better way? If I upload say 10 variables in URL, it would be so helpful to get ALL the original url parameters back regardless if they have been used.
Hope that is clear.
this can be done with embeded forms as well.
If your form is embeded and your URL is:
then to auto popluate the field, do the following
/?uniqueFieldId=myPrepopulatedInfo
for me it was
/?em=myemail@email.com
I would like to be able to use my form to add in all the information into my PDF then have the customer sign it, is this option available?
Is it possible to use the URL prepopulating from a Form to a Sign document?
Hi Guys,
Can't log in on the Field populator URL it says "You have reached login attempt limit. Please try again in a few hours." Could you help fix.
I want to use Jotform because you guys have a lot more options, but Typeform allows you to dynamically prepoulate embedded forms. Just search for: dynamically-pass-hidden-fields-from-a-url-to-an-embedded-typeform-for-advanced-users
Can you please add this functionality to embedded forms. Typeform can do it...
Hi Guys. From some reason I cannot login to the prepopulate tool. It says too many attempts.... tried it twice today. Can you help me out?
I've send you an e-mail to your support because I'm not able to enter a table form in my pdf document.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards
Can't login with my Jotform Enterprise login access.
Can we do this pre-population for multiple choice questions?
The use case is, question "Which states would you like to receive alerts?" and the answer is multiple choice selection of the 50 states and they can select as many as they like. We have an attribute for the person of states that we can pass into url, so it could have PA, NY, NJ. Could we have those 3 states then pre-selected in the form?
Is it possible to populate an invoice number from a PDF or email?
In the example, we need to know the value which then manually enter after the = sign, i.e., fullName[first]=John&fullName[last]=Doe in this example we manually enter "John" for fullName(first) name field and "Doe" for fullName(last).
My reach out question;
How to put not the value or the source but the corresponding "variable field name" instead, of the source field name. By doing this if we change the value we can still use the post data parameters.
I am looking forward to hear from Jotform Technical Support my question.
Thank you.
Finding the Unique Name by Inspect or Advanced Properties in Build is messy and time consuming when you have a large number of fields.
Does or can jotform consider having a means of listing or reporting the fields and their unique names etc to make this easier.
Also usefully when checking cloned forms email contents to see which fields might need replacing.
Is there any way to pre-populate a Configurable List?
The field pre-populator doesn't continue after I have chosen a form and clicked the continue button.
Any suggestions?
How do you reference a member of a list to pass it on to another field
e.g. number={pleaseChoose[3]} or something
How do I insert an upload option on my form
Is there a plan to use the new Prefill function instead of this when redirecting someone to another form? This method is extremely cumbersome and error prone. It would make sense to set the redirect to another form and have the same dropdowns available to set which field correlates to the next form.
I just need a way to trim my pdf better. I do not want the Template information on the document. How do I do that?
is it possible to pass date/time the same way. Looks like the prepopulate tool ignores those fields. Thanks
Thank you. I was able to successfully complete the steps outlined above, but now I want to save the new URL with prepopulated fields as my link to share. How can I do that? When I click the pencil to edit, it gives me to option to use my own domain by signing up for Jotform Enterprise, but that is not what I need. I cannot copy and paste the prepopulated URL link into the Link to Share field under the Publish tab.
Thank you

Is it possible to generate a secured URL instead to pre-populate to a 2nd form?
Hi,
I'm trying to get the form to autofill the last name of employees once the first name is filled in.
Does prepopulating allow this once the form is filled in repeatedly?
As far I can understand the prepopulating fields in this case would mean I'd have to manually fill the name and last name for each form and send them out.
Could you please help me find a solution?
Hi,
If I embed the form into a webpage, can we create custom links to pre-populated forms within the website?
Can the Submission Date, what ends up in the Table in Jotform or Google Sheets, be added as a parameter? So I can populate one form with the submission date of another form. {SubmissionDate} or {SubDate} or something?

Hi,
Can we store some data whatever how (Excel, Access, MySql...etc) and call it from any filed ?
I want person that submits the form to be able to use the update link to notify be of the shipping details is this possible!
This is all nice and such but does not really answer my specific question.
After a user submits form A, I want the email address they entered from form A to be provided to form B's Recurring Email list of email recipients. But it would need to append to this list, not replace it. Can that be done? If so, how do I get around the email address limit per Recurring Email?

What about selecting an item from a dropdown field via URL parameter? It isn't working where the item in the dropdown list has a space, e.g. Fried Rice. fried%20rice in the URL = page not found error.
Hello, Im read the pre-populating fields and had a question- Is it possible to take information from 3 different form to one at different times not at the same time?
The reason why - I would like people to fill out the 3 different forms but all 3 forms can lead back book to my appointment form but on the appointment form I need to know which of the 3 forms they filled out when they book their appointment.
Is this possible?
Thank you. I've never used the codes. I'll give it my best shot.
is prepopulating a certain field in mobile jotform app possible?
Hello, I am having difficulty using the appointment calendar. Where do I put a link on the Submit button? Also, it isn't letting me test select different days of availability.
What about my products section.. quantities...
This is a terrible explanation! and does not help to guide at all. Also does not work.
how do we add link to a website on our form?
This is a great tutorial, but wouldn't, like, 99.9% of all forms be embedded on a website?
Could you please provide instructions on what to append to the actual webs page URL in order to get a drop-down selection to be pre-selected?
My unique name is ServTerm
and one example of a selection I want to pre-populate is "1 week"
I appended to the URL:
?ServTerm=1%20week
But that does NOT work.
It does work with the raw Jotform URL, but NOT on the embedded page.
Kindly help, please.

Is it possible to pre-populate a Text only (information) element, the non question element that can be added to a form. When I check it's properties on the form it does not have a name like the Short Text Entry element so I cannot reference it in the URL.
Hey there - now that the mobile forms app is in play, how can we prepopulate an address field in a form? We can't use the URL route as these forms are assigned individually to users through their app so they aren't accessing it via a URL anymore. I know with some fields you can set default values, etc. But for addresses you cannot. Can you guys make this possible?

Works OK but I'd like my form, (parking reservation), once filled out by a customer, to generate two populated forms; one sent to the customer as an electronic reserved parking pass with a QR code containing their information and another sent to me as an electronic populated form. Upon entering my parking lot, the customer presents his electronic pass from his device for me to scan. The encrypted QR code information is cross referenced with the populated form I have on file to validate their parking reservation and confirm their attendance.
Hey
First Time when I used with parameters it's working fine but when I re-try with different parameters it's showing old parameter selected, present data is not be select. I think based on cookies it is auto filled past values.
How can I send new values and showing to me sending values selected.
Can I make the pre-populated fields non-editable by the recipient who is going to fill out the form?

How do I this next step? Here is the link to the sheet:

Hello, Please how can i loop on jotform?
I try to use the new link of my form " to create but it is not working,
It only works if I use the original link
Is that normal?
This does not solve a huge issue that many, many people write about. How can you create a url to prefill email (and name perhaps, etc.) as is discussed, for instance, here - https://www.jotform.com/answers/1048384-how-can-i-prefill-email-address-from-an-infusionsoft-email - it seems you should be able to do so and yet no one knows nor understands this issue at JF. Why would you set this up so one can manually fill the fields to send individuals a link but wouldn't create what tons of your customers need - to be able to put a link in an email sent whenever anyone opts in for the sequence in Infusionsoft so that the fields prepopulate in the JF? We don't want out customers to have to fill in their info again and again... THis is how one click reg works for Webinarjam, how wistia/plusthis integration works, etc. etc. It is basic and should be a priority - the obv next step- needed in this article...
It is bizarre that you have this set up to manually send someone a link that prepopulates their name but you can't use fields to prepopulate so that you can put a link in an email in say Infusionsoft that sends them to a form where it either prepops their name and email or they don't have to put it in again because the integration works such that jot knows what record the form is connected to...
Hi, Can i get any testcase related to the same?

hi,
is it possible to prepopulate fields to your jotform from a base in airtable? If so, how?
would prefer not to use your spreadsheet to form widget as have to manually upload the spreadsheet with info on it each time its updated, so was wondering if there is a way could use URL parameters from airtable?
cheers!
Mel
Just testing this feature but having some issues.
Tried this
AND This
But nothing happens - In edge is removes the parameters from the URL altogether.
What am I missing?
I actually want to populate this one
Also can we make that field read only so only the parameter can populate it?
I also want to prevent submitting the form unless that field has a value so we don't get random rubbish.
Michael
This information is very close to a feature that we have been seeking. We need to be able to create the url and assign unique values for just one field like ID. And then be able to provide unique urls to different subscribers who will use their assigned url to share the form with others. In such cases, the data as it is collected must contain the unique ID that refers to which of our members produced the results of the form. Does your example accomplish this? Thanks.
will this work if the form is embedded on another site?
This is great for how to display the desired data. Please direct me to help on how to locate the desired data.
For example Manager 1 has Person A, Person B, and Person C sending data:
**How can the form look for Person A fields (project name, time for project, cost of project) by looking up Person A on the report from another form?
Thank you
Hi, I am trying to pre-populate a name field between two forms, but I have an issue where the First Name, Initial, and Last Name from the first form are being pre-populated altogether into the First Name field of the second form.
Example of what I input into the "Full Name" field in the first form:
First Name: John
Middle Initial: E
Last Name: Appleseed
The pre-populated result I get in the second form:
First Name: John E Appleseed
Middle Initial:
Last Name:
At the end of my link I appended:
?name={name}
How should I write the link to get it to pre-populate the name field correctly?
I also tried:
?name[first]={name[first]}&name[middle]={name[middle]}&name[last]={name[last]}
...but it resulted in a duplication of the name in all the fields:
First Name: John E Appleseed
Middle Initial: John E Appleseed
Last Name: John E Appleseed
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to connect two forms. Form 1 is for my CLIENT, Form 2 is for my client's CUSTOMERS.
Basically my client fills out Form 1... and then the autoresponder email would send to the CUSTOMER, with a custom link to FORM 2 -> and pass the data from Form 1.
I have a very simple setup, yet the data is not passing, so I am definitely doing something wrong...

Can forms embedded thru JS or iFrame also be prepopulated? if so, how can I do that?
Need help with a similar issue. Here is the form link:
The first time I set the parameters as follow:
?nameOf4=Mickey%20Mouse&positionDesired5=Disney%20Specialist
It works fine.
The second time
?nameOf4=John%20Doe&positionDesired5=Data%20Scientist
This time it does not work (i.e. the form comes up with pre-populated fields, but not with the desired content). In fact, the form comes up with Mickey Mouse, Disney Specialist (how it was set the first time).
seems to not work ...
Thanks.
So how do you do this with a jotform embedded on your own website?
I have a form for workers to report certain information for a given shift,the shift is selected via a drop-down menu containing elements like:
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
ect
when a worker submits an hourly shift report, I have them re-directed back to the form with some areas that would probably remain unchanged being pre-filled from the previous form like:
?name={name}&productionLine={productionLine}&...
this is all working fine but I was curious if I could pre-populate the shift (hour) field by incrementing the previously filled value.
for example, when they submit the form with "5:00 pm - 6:00 pm" selected from the drop-down, I would like for the hours section on the next form to be filled with the next item in the drop-down menu ie "6:00 pm - 7:00 pm"
Hi,
I went into the source code as per your example. However, those codes did not come up on my form.
I've located the field for prepopulating the email address as the linking field between the first form and the second form. However, the question remains as to how to use it. I'm guessing that it would be a hidden and prepopulated field on the second form.
TESTING MY FORM: I'm trying to test my form. I'm at a point of verifying my email address. I've been sent the verification code. I enter it. And then it doesn't move forward. I've gone back in to turn off the only 1 submission and set it to NO CHECK.
It's still not advancing.
I just went in to clear my cache. I'll close Jotform and try again.
I'm going to turn off the Use Verification Code and that will probably make a difference. However, ideally, I would like to have the email verified.
Okay, it worked beautifully.
But again, optimally, I would really like to be able to send them a verification code. It's so easy to do that, but naturally, the feature needs to work properly.
Thanks for your help on this matter. It is definitely helping me to make a lot of progress quickly.
While I'm at it, do you have tutorials on using your widgets?

Can we create query string for the widget field(US states or country)?
Would be good if you could "get a pre-filled link" in the same way that google forms does, This way I could fill out certain information needed for each of my clients in the form but save them the trouble of doing so themselves. Or to fill in information already given to me in previous contact via e-mail etc.
I'm trying to prepopulate a radiobutton with a German formatted number (with a comma instead of a dot):
Unfortunately the form prepopulates the radiobutton with value "2" instead of the radiobutton with value "0,2".
Using a masked comma is also no solution:
Using a dot in the number is also no solution because this form should be used in an area where commas are used to separate numbers.
is there a way to have the prepopulated data encrypted so that people filling in the forms cannot spoof data?
how will i put "+", tried %2B but not working.
This is great, can I generate QR codes from jotform with these parameters refilled out, or do i need to do that outside of jotform?
I noticed that the recurring payments name is defined differently than the other elements within an Authorize.net widget.
For example if the unique name of my authorize.net widget is "p" then I can successfully pass url parameter which radio button subscription to select (if multiple subscriptions are set up). i.e. p[][id]=1000
However, when I try to pass the parameter for number of recurring payments with the name of the dropdown defined as "custom_recurringtimes[1000]" I would need to drop the custom_ and only use "recurringtimes[1000]" and set the value some number. That does not work. I believe that the script that interprets the url parameters does not currently handle "custom_" prefixes. Can you please help? Also if it's possible can you let me know if there is a workaround. I want to specify number of payments via url parameter so that the user cannot change.
Forget my previous comment. I am not sure what I did different, probably a spelling error. But it's working now!
I am trying to run 2 pre-fill selections at the same time. One selection is to select the name of a person. The second is to select the price (paypal plugin). I can get them to run separately, but not together.

**Does not work...
Purchase Now
This is will select the name Tanner Lind
Purchase Now
This will select the PayPal option
Purchase Now
they just won't run together. I have also tried separating them with the "&" sign and still the same result. I will go over the documentation again. What do you think is the problem.

Please can you help, I have one field "Type of hood Cover" which no matter what I try will not prepopulate my "Duplicate Form". No matter what I try this will not work.
Am I right to assume that if a field box changes at all, then the code for preopulating will not work unless completely re=written?
This is driving me insane.
It should transfer to this, when "Duplicate Quote" is selected prior to submit.

One thing I've noticed is if for example I have a full name (i.e.. bla_name[first] and bla_name[last]) that I cannot pull the field values separately when generating the form url on a save submission because the variable name is actually {name} and it has the full name .. therefore a link like ?name[first]={name}&name[last]={name} would pre-populate both fields with the full name... You would think this would work but it doesn't:

Hi, I'm trying to get the previous page product title or url automatically prepopulated into the form (dragged from the page it was on), is this possible?
If so, how?
I keep getting old prepopulated fields appear not the ones in the new URL. Whats happening here?
Does this only work with the Jotform Thank you Page or can you create forms which populate another and use IFrame to add both forms to my web site.
I rather not use the Jotform Thank You page but use a Customized page on my web site.
For the most part the prefill works, but for certain checkmark/bullet points it does not. For example, the following link does not work:
What is the problem?

This works really well and I'm using it on my site, BUT!...
If you enable the "Continue Form Later" feature and set the "Autofill" to enabled, then the fields set via the URL are ignored!
I'd really like to use both URL populating and autofill enabled. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks
Bart
I tried this and it is not working. Here are the links to form 1: and form 2: here's the URL I placed in the Thank You Custom URL field: Receiving a 405 Not Allowed error
How can I use this to select a form language?
Will this work on multi page forms?
All I'm trying to do is prepopulate one field with a number and that is the only field that does not get populated. What am I doing wrong?
This is the url I'm using.
What I need seems bit different. I want the page title that my form is embedded on to populate as one of the field inputs. Any idea how I can do that? Thanks.
Brilliant. Is there any way to set the language?
Sorry, I still did not get it.
First I do not know what values to copy, second, I am going to have many rows and that will be many values and make that line extremely long.
Looks like my previous question got truncated. My problem is that the prepopulated email only shows up as gray sample text, and does not pass through the form submission.
I have setup 3 URL parameters to prepopulate my form. The page hosting page is ASP, so the parameters are inserted at runtime using session variables.
This is the querystring I'm using with my javascript embedded form:
?yourName7[first]=&yourName7[last]=&email8=
How to submit session and field parameters in the same URL?
?yourChoix=23 OK
?session=myname OK
BUT:
?yourChoix=23?session=myname Doesn't work
Thanks
is this possible using the iframe for forms embedded on CMS like wix?
In the above example how do I pass it the value of the field instead of hard coded value.
In my application I am feeding a second jot form from a parent jotform and I want to pass values from one the other
A mazing

Contractor Position&country26=Denmark&
How can you dynamically prepopulate a URL with responses to checkboxes and dropdowns?
How about passing data to a textarea field that needs new line characters?
Hello,
How can I pre-populate the form with a non-editable field as in this form where my "name" field is fixed?
Hi, I have a form which I have set up sessions with so we can save and come back to later and continue filling in.
Can I also populate fields from the session url that's provided to the user?
E.g. user fills in their name on first form and email, autoresponder then sends them an email with the url for second form plus the =session bit, I also then want to prepopulate the user's name from that first form into the second form. Is this possible?
How do I prepopulate based on data that the user submitted from another form? I want to be able to have fields auto-filled from data already entered. Therefore, I thought breaking it into two forms and using the second form in place of a thank you page would be a good approach. I'd like to make the URL of the thank you page (second form) autopopulate based on what the user submitted in the previous form. How do I create a URL for that? Or is there an easier way?
Thanks . I followed it and used it in 2 places
1. in Autoresponder and the URL comes up with values
But when I click the above link the new form is not getting populated :(
2. I gave the same URL in
This time the form is populated but with variable names {fullName3:first}
instead of the values
Pls advice . pls note I have masked the form id by 9999..
Hi I have 2 jotforms.
form 1: user enters their data
I re-direct to Form 2 and want the First name and Second name from Form 1 to get populated.
I saw the URL example but is there a way to specify variable name instead of exact value ?
instead of Dr in the URL below can i substitue a form variable?
https://www.jotform.com/form/10565343954?fullName[prefix]=Dr.
Hi,
is there already a solution for the feedback-widget to get the URL?
We need to have exact URL from where the feedback was sent. And this URL should be available in the e-mail generated from the submitted form as a value (like field of dropdown, name etc. ...)
Answers would be appreciated :-D
Any issues reported with FireFox? Not working for me.
I have a database with all information that my jotform will be asking the user to fill out in the form. How do I get jotform to access that database when the user type in registration number, so that jotbase will automatically prepopulate the rest of the information.
Can setup a veritable file to read the access file content by url link? Thanks.
ok when i copy and paste the link to the website the form will not come up. what am I doing wrong?
Hello jacopogalli, I have answered your question concerning to lightbox on this link: https://www.jotform.com/answers/24851-how-can-i-customize-an-input-value-when-the-form-is-in-lightbox
What about prepopulating the fields of the form that opens inside a lightbox as a Feedback?
There is an option to set in the javascript:
new JotformFeedback({
formId:'xxxxxxx',
base:'https://www.jotform.com' ,
windowTitle:'Test Form with upload',
background:'#FFA500',
fontColor:'#FFFFFF',
type:false,
height:500,
width:700
});
Ask your questions to the forum please.
Hello, saw the "Dolzy" related prepopulation post, as well.
New Question:
Can you suggest the best way I might utilize prepopulation, for taking a registration form submission, comparing the residential part of that information to a database of 450 locations around the USA, and ending up with 3 newly-created PDF pages/files, that each have their own standard layout/formatting, and combine in the form submission info, with the matched database info, so as to display it inside each of the three PDF formatted result pages/files? Clear as mud?
Hello parawing742, This will work even as an embedded form using javascript as well.
Will this work with form embedded using javascript or does there have to be a link to the form?
