Confused with populating fields dynamically

I have one form for registration, that gets redirected to a page that tells the user to either login or apply. I want that application form to have pre-populated fields such as email and name. That simple. Ive went through the documentation and im still confused.

In the registration form i have set it to pass field data via query string. I have chosen first name, last name and email...and i get this {Name (First):6.3}{Name (Last):6.6}{Email:3} for merge tags. Now from here, im completely lost. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

OK, instead of this in the query string:
```
{Name (First):6.3}{Name (Last):6.6}{Email:3}
```
Try this:
```
fname={Name (First):6.3}&lname={Name (Last):6.6}&email={Email:3}
```
In the URL field above, be sure you enter the URL of the page where the application form is located.

In the application form, you need to edit the three fields (First Name, Last Name and email) and on the Advanced tab, check the box "Allow This Field to be Populated Dynamically" and then in the "parameter" box, enter fname, lname and email respectively.

Share a URL to the pages with your forms embedded if you have trouble making this work.
