You need to turn on dynamic data population for each field you want to do this with, and then give it a parameter name when you do so. That parameter name is then what you use int he query string to pass the data to the form. So if you have a field for email, you can edit the advanced settings for that field and turn on dynamic data population and then give that field a parameter name of email. Then when loading the page with the form on it you would pass ?email=VALUE and the field would be pre-populated using that value. slee on "pass data to form" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pass-data-to-form#post-3503 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 14:24:59 +0000 slee 3503@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ sorry to hijack this thread again but i thought my question is relative to this. Is it possible for me to create a link with a query in it to pass the text to a gf form? sor for example the url would be <a href="http://www.domain.com/contactpage.htm?pass=datatpass" rel="nofollow">http://www.domain.com/contactpage.htm?pass=datatpass</a> then 'datatopass' is input into the form automatically is this possible?
