Is there a way to create a link to a form with pre-filled information? 

For example, I want a button in an interface that can go to a form to add a bug linked to whatever the user was looking at in the interface, so that the link is already set when opening the form.

Thanks! What does the link formatting look like? Is there documentation of that anywhere?


Yeap, here's Airtable's documentation: https://support.airtable.com/docs/prefilling-a-form-via-encoded-url

And I've put together an example for you as well, and here's an example of a prefilled form link for an Interface form that'll link to the Feature the user was looking at:

Yeap, set the button to open a URL from a field in the record and use a formula field where you've set up the prefilled form link
