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

    This will go a long way in enhancing user experience. Microsoft Forms is becoming the way to go in feedback collection for my company.

    I think it could be very useful... I hope Microsoft would work in this function soon...

    i am looking forward to have this function, is great idea to identify all our client without manually checking each response for error or miss typing. what should i do if i ask for User ID and they give me mobile number? I hope this function can avoid that for us.

    It's 2020... this started in 2017 ! And you still do not offer this feature to pre-fill the URL for data.... The friends at Google offer this feature already for years.

    As my company only allows MS Forms... it's a must have for customer friendly communications an really a basic requirement.

    This would be immensely useful. There are a number of internal tools that we could feed using MS forms data.
