I made an excel sheet a few years ago to help with generating a prefill form link.
I hope it helps you!

Lol, this actually looks like a fun tool and useful tool.
For multiple reasons (see this other Article) I usually rely on Fillout forms ratehr than Airtable native forms when I need some pre-filling, conditional logic, better visuals, smarter integrations, etc.
It’s time for Airtable to release some additional features for their forms!
Having said that, it does seem like a fun tool. Thanks for sharing!

This tool is quite cool! I had written a similar article on how to do this directly in Airtable.
As Mike mentioned, prefilled forms do have a lot of limitations. But they’re still a good option if using a third-party tool isn’t possible due to company restrictions or other issues.

However, instead of creating prefilled links, I would recommend using Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable, because no prefilled links are required.
Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records using a form, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, add new linked records to forms, create PDF files from a form, and so much more.
I do not typically recommend using prefilled links, because Airtable’s prefilled links come with serious downsides that you will want to be aware of:
I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:
