Add Form Parameter Support (Pre-fill form fields)

[Sean_O_Shea]

Would love the ability to pre-fill all form fields using URL parameters.

Currently some fields have parameter support (see this Support post for details), but not all.

The ability to pre-fill linked fields with parameters could be super useful as people use Airtable to build web applications.

It would be specially good to have the ability to pre-fill linked records (since you can already paste a string that matches the name of the record inside Airtable and it works fine, even creating a new record when the name is not found).

[Reuben_Endean]

Yes, this would be really useful for us. In our case we need to prefill a hidden field. We will use this to indicate that the record has been submitted via a webform and requires action.

[Keegan_Walls]

It would also be great if it supported prefilled hidden fields!

[Andres_Gomez]

I would love to use this feature too

[Vincent_Bucchin]

prefill_ would be a good enough workaround if it supported linked records

[AliceLaRenarde]

Hi, how is it going for this feature ? Thanks !

[Bruno_Carvalho]

This feature has been implemented a few months ago.

[Maxime_Seroussi]

Pre-filling linked records or use of hidden fields? not that I’m aware of. pls explain.

[Katherine_Duh]

Over last summer we implemented the ability to prefill linked record fields using the method described in this support article.

We haven’t yet implemented any form prefill features related to computed fields or hidden fields, but we’d love to hear more detailed feedback on your specific use cases, the problems you’re trying, and the ways in which you’re envisioning the feature(s) being implemented.

[Teija_Paldanius]

We have one possible use case for hidden prefilled field on form. We would be using just one table for records, which need something to identify them but we don’t want to show the information on the form.
