Add the possibility to prefill a hidden field in forms

We would like to use Monday forms to collect user feedback from different locations. It would be great to have the possibility to prefill a field corresponding to a column “location”. And it would be even better to have the possibility to hide this field at rendering.
I think there are a lot of use cases that could benefit from this feature.
Today, as far as I know, the Monday.com fields of the form are not named, making prefill impossible, even with visible fields.

How if anyway can I track UTM source for our campaigns from job application forms?

I would also find this useful for similar reasons, but the lack of response rom Monday is not encouraging. Similar tools have this functionality

See Forms for customers to complete with prefilled info - #6 by Elliot for a response from Monday.com.

There is a way to accomplish this with 3rd party solutions in that same thread.

Thanks @gregb but for me, this just means that there is no acceptable solution… and using integration to do that is like using a hammer to kill a bug :grin:

Hello @jeromeskiply , will the example shown here work in your case? You can hide the columns you don’t want the user to see before sharing the link

I don’t know if you have found a solution to this problem yet, but I’ll leave this here if it is helpful.

I had a similar problem where form respondents need to draw in information, that doesn’t need to be manually filled on each submission. If the data can be associated with one field or question, it is possible to pull the data from elsewhere.

In my form, I set up a “Connect boards”. Then go back to main table, to establish the connection. The connected board’s item names will now display under the question in the form. If we use the example of your Location field, the connected board items, should each be a unique location name. On the form, the list of location names will be selectable under that question. Once a selection is made, any mirror columns that have been set up in the board where responses are received will then contain the mirror information from the loaction board.

I know it seems like a big workaround, but once it is set up, it is very easy for the user.
