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

    Currently we are stuck using SurveyMonkey to accomplish this, which makes the transfer of data into PowerBI more complicated. Getting this integrated into Microsoft Forms would open up endless opportunities for us to work more efficiently internally and to be able to collect valuable data when working externally that is currently only available through other solution providers (SurveyMonkey, Google etc).

    Microsoft need to match up their offerings with Google's before Google release an equivalent of flow/power automate

    Passing parameters should be standard in web forms. Without this feature, we can't use this tool in many cases and have to work with alternatives.

    I'm waiting for this feature. Now I must use PowerApps to create Interface with my users, instead.

    it will be a great idea to allow pre-populated feature to msforms. so that a single form can be half completed by two people in different locations

    Would love to have this feature to be able to automate certain functions within our company. +1!

    This would be a fantastic addition to Forms and unlock a lot of automation potential especially with PowerAutomate.

    Currently using a form to audit equipment used by colleagues. It would be great to pre-populate the form with their items without them having to input the item details if they're correct...

    Having this feature can unlock many opportunities for our department and allow us to nicely automate many feedback forms.
    We sometimes need to ask for data that's unknown to the respondent (in order to link it to other pool of data) and having that pre-filled will go a long way!

    This is a functionality in Voice Of customers. We currently using this feature to prepopulate the first answer and display different questions based on this value. We need this as well to track from which campaign the survey is coming from.

    This function would be particularly useful for us, where we want to identify multiple survey sessions - please implement
