Populate fields dynamically based on previous submission

Just wondering if there is anyway of populating the fields dynamically based on a users previous submission?

For example:
I have two near identical forms - the first 20 fields are the same in both forms. If the user completes form 1, ideally if they bring up form 2 i would like to pre-populate the first 20 fields based on the data they entered in form 1.

Would the gform_field_value_$parameter_name filter be worth exploring in this sort of scenario?

This can only be done as a customization using cookies. You would have to use the gform_post_submission hook with Form 1 to store the values of all the fields you want to pre-populate in Form 2 as a cookie.

Then you have to write custom code using the gform_field_value$parameter_name hook to pre-populate those fields in Form 2 using the values you stored in the cookie.
