    Hi Gianpi701,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Regarding your issue with transferring data from the notification email button link to another form, where phone and email fields transfer correctly but address and name do not, this is likely due to how the field names and URL encoding are set in the link.

    Let me help you with that:

    1. Check the field names: Ensure that the field names used in the URL parameters exactly match the field names in the destination form. For example, if the destination form's address field is named differently or nested differently, the data won't transfer.
    2. URL encode special characters: Fields like address and name might contain spaces or special characters that need proper URL encoding. Using the {fieldname:uri} format helps encode these, so verify that you use :uri for these fields in the URL.
    3. Verify the field structure for complex fields: For address fields, which are often complex with subfields (like addr_line1, city), make sure you are passing each subfield correctly in the URL and that the destination form has matching subfields with the exact same names.
    4. Test with simpler fields: Try transferring a simple text field like name without special characters to confirm if the issue is with encoding or field naming.
    5. Review the email notification setup: Double-check the email notification's button link to ensure all placeholders are correctly formatted and match the destination form's field names.

    If you continue to experience issues, you might want to test the URL by manually filling in values to see if the destination form receives them correctly.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
