Allow pre-populated data via URL parameter

It would be helpful to be able to add a GET value to the share link to provide default answers to questions. E.g., ?q1=default&q2=default2

    I'm working on my first project with Power Automate/Forms and I've hit a wall because this feature doesn't exist. Looks like I won't be using forms! It's unfortunate that I wasted my time learning how to build a flow to nowhere.

    A significantly valuable feature to add, eliminating the continued move away from MS products because because of "all or none" options. Would much rather continue to use MS products like this for a subset of need versus reduce reliance due to lack of posting data to forms from non-MS environments.

    Evaluation Forms could be used very well with this one, where a placeholder would hold a value from a manually triggered flow and will be saved in the same form with other Evaluation Forms, if we're considering the placeholders, they could be set as a different parameters to filter the forms submissions, that way it could group specific responds with a specific placeholder value.

    I strongly support this request. I want to add a forms link on a learning management system (Moodle). Moodle allows me to pass parameters (e.g., student name, id, course name etc.) as parameters to an URL. Being able to add these to the forms URL means I wouldn't have to ask students to enter their name, id, course etc. It would save students time, and reduce errors.

    Please add this feature. The lack of this feature is resulting in a great deal of waste of time and effort to handle the errors in user input.

    We're using forms for training feedback. The 'select your trainer' and 'select your training topic' is subject to user error. Please add this functionality!

    Hi, this would be handy for business processes requiring more than one form to be populated; so that a tracker ID can be added to link forms applications together

    We want to use forms as a satisfaction survey for our ticketing system. We however need to be able to ad a reference to our ticket. For that we would need this.

    MS forms lacks one of the most basic and fundamental features for any online survey tool. It is just unbelievable.

    Passing parameters via GET would be such a useful feature and facilitate better UX (especially for external users working collaboratively, to allow a pre-crafted URL to populate the Forms data,

    This would really increase the ability to use forms as a method of collecting data linked to SharePoint and Power Automate.
