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 is so essential and I can hardly believe this issue is being disregarded by MS.

  • L commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Me too! I poll the same users, and I'd like to fill in their prior response in certain fields.

    Please update this @Microsoft. All items that have more votes have been replied to by Microsoft. In case the OP is not clear, we would like the ability to pass specific values in the form link. For example. ttps://forms.microsoft.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=blahblahblah&q1=Name&q2=08/04/2020&q3=clickedfrom

    This way we can turn the form into a multi-use scenario. My use case is that I want to put the same link into each Standard Operating Procedure document in my company and make one of the fields which document the link was clicked from. This way I can track which employees have read and agreed to which document.

    Has Microsoft even commented on this? It would allow you to create very attractive entry points into forms that would simplify the experience for users.

    This is the only thing preventing me from using MS Forms for a couple of projects, would be a *very* welcome addition

    If we were able to customised default answers to questions by looking up from a sharepoint list that would be amazing.

    This is so easy to do with google forms, allows the customers not to fill a lot of info that is already known and is important to add in the answers.

    After so many years, this features must be implemented, i was just searching this year, and found that other users are requesting this for so long. Pls do something MS.

  • Justin commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes this is a really important feature to have! It's been a few years now and with this many votes? Cmon please implement it.

    it would help us to do so much more with Flow and Forms.
    also can you make it so that we can fill in a form field via URL which the user cannot change?
