Forms - default values

[Perry_Schaffer]

Trying to create a form I click “add a field to this table” I see under “Single line text” (type of field the words “A single line of text. You can optionally prefill each new cell with a default value.” see attached

that’s what I want to do but can’t figure out how to actually do that?

TIA for any ideas here…

That option is only for entering data via the Airtable user interface.

For prefilling forms, you need to alter the URL of the form. Here are instructions on how to do that:

Airtable Support

Prefilling a form

When making an Airtable form, you can use prefill_ parameters in the URL of the form to prefill specific fields. Note that this feature cannot be used to edit information that already exists in you...

Also, @kuovonne created a great app that helps you create your prefill URL’s here:

Airtable

Prefilled Forms - Apps - Airtable Marketplace

Prefill forms with field values on Airtable with the Prefilled Forms app.

Hi there!

At miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form that integrates seamlessly with Airtable and supports default values along with various advanced options. These options offer many possibilities, including data validation within fields, conditional hiding, and the ability to display a description with formatted text, URLs, and images.

Descriptions can also be shown as tooltips for added convenience:
