Prefilling and hiding fields within a form in Interface Designer

[Maria_Alvarez]

Is it possible to prefill and hide fields within forms in Interface Designer?
Example... Hide and preselect project type based on where the user is coming from within the Interface Designer

You can do that with forms outside the Interface Designer https://support.airtable.com/docs/prefilling-a-form

As of 25 July 2023, we can now do so via URL parameters, so something like this works:
https://airtable.com/appOyKD7rqgwlXMm4/pagfZ4skZwMZFHQ2M?prefill_Name=Test&prefill_Status=Todo&hide_...

And the syntax is the same as the normal form prefills

"Helper Text", "Default value" and conditional field display all exist in Interface Forms now.

Hi everyone,

Airtable now offers the ability to prefill and hide fields using the hide_FieldName=true URL parameter, along with prefill_FieldName=value. This is a useful feature for many cases, but if you’re looking for even more flexibility, we’ve developed a third-party solution at miniExtensions designed specifically for Airtable users.

Our tool allows you to prefill hidden fields without including them in the form structure or the URL itself. Additionally, we provide the option to automatically submit the form after pre-filling, streamlining the process further.

You can try this feature on our site using the “Allow prefilling hidden fields” option:
