Pre-Fill Forms

SmartSuite Forms now support pre-filling field values directly through URL parameters, enabling seamless automation and dynamic form generation.

‍

Key Highlights:

• Pre-Fill Any Supported Field: Automatically populate form fields using URL parameters.
• Dynamic Value Generation: Form URLs can be created dynamically using formulas or button fields.
• Support for Multiple Values: Fields that accept multiple values (e.g., multi-select, linked records) allow comma-separated inputs.
• Flexible Field Matching: Pre-fill fields using either their title or field ID.
• Hidden Field Submission: Pre-filled values for hidden fields will still be submitted and recorded in SmartSuite.
• Robust Linked Record Matching: Supports pre-filling linked records by ID or exact title match.

‍

How It Works:

• Copy the form URL and append ?Prefill_FieldName=Value.
• If the field name has multiple words, use + (e.g., Prefill_Full+Name=John+Doe).
• To pre-fill multiple fields, separate them with & (e.g., Prefill_Title=Test1&Prefill_Name=John).
• Multiple value fields accept comma-separated values (e.g., Prefill_Multiple+Select=apple,samsung).
• If a field title is changed in the form, the pre-fill still works based on the original field title.
• Hidden fields with pre-filled values will be submitted even if they’re not visible in the UI.

This implementation enables dynamic form pre-filling without modifying the UI, streamlining workflows and automating form entry seamlessly.
