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:

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

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:
