I set prefill data for certain columns and created form for other fields. On entering form data, new row is created but these prefill records returned empty. I thought new row will contain prefill data regardless of how it is created.
Iâm currently using Cognito forms as a front end for data entry into Airtable which is super useful becuase Cognito allows hidden fields, and seriously powerful calculations. They also allow you to collect payment for form entries which is great because weâre using the form as an order form. The order is placed via the form, payment is collected, the data on the order flows into Airtable and out to our operations team. The connections are made via Zapier which is just a matter of field mapping.
Me, and about 50 different people who I referred to Airtable desperately need this update. Is there any way to get the idea if it is still on the roadmap?
I would like this change too - PROVIDED: you can specify which fields can be populated through a form and remain hidden. Allowing any field to be populated whether or not itâs visible though a form would introduce a potential security vulnerability IMHOâŚ
Itâs integrated to Airtable (Zapier not required).
Itâs free (up to 5 forms).
You can create dynamic form with conditions
You can create custom design
You can prefill values by adding them as parameter in the URL (like Airtable native form)
You can pass pre-populated values to Airtable even on hidden fields. Just donât forget in the form settings to select âDonât clearâ in the âClear Hidden Field Valuesâ question
1 major disavantage:
You cannot display a dropdown from an Airtable Linked Record field on your Jotform (or send a pre-populated value to a linked record field). I think only Airtable native form can.
