Airtable has how to autocomplete fields in a form, that is to say that through a unique key it preloads data already existing in the database that are requested in the form.

If you want to prefill a form in Airtable, you can follow Airtable’s instructions here to create your own prefilled URL link. You can also use ​@kuovonne’s Prefilled Forms extension to help you create your prefill link.

However, if you’re trying to prefill a form because you’re trying to update an Airtable record from a form, then your #1 best way of doing that is to use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable. No complicated prefill URLs necessary!

Fillout is 100% free and offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records directly from a form without any of the hassle.
