Pass data from one form to another via URL Parameters: Time Range not populating

Hi

I was wondering about the prefill action button in the thank you page it doesn't let you prefill time fields

Hi info_info639_Taxi,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Are you trying to pass the data from this form to this form? If yes, you can do this by using URL parameters. In my example below, I'll prefill form B's Requested Pick-up time field from form A's Requested Pick-up time field. The URL format should be:

URL of the target form?unique name of the target field={unique name of the source field}

To do this, I first need to get the unique names of both the source field and target field. Let me show you how to do that:

1. In the target form's Form Builder page, click on the target field, and click on the Gear icon to open Properties.
2. Go to the Advanced tab, and expand Field Details.
3. Copy the Unique Name.

You also need to get the unique name of the source form's field, where the data will be from. Check out the screencast below:

The URL parameters should be:

https://www.jotform.com/form/241215513026241?requestedPickup={requestedPickup}

Now, you need to add this URL to your source form's Thank You Page under Settings. Let's do it:

1. In Form Builder, click on Settings in the orange navigation bar at the top part of the page.
2. Select Thank You Page from the left-side menu.
3. Select Redirect to an external link after submission.
4. Enter the given URL parameters above into the Enter URL field.

Check out the screencast below to see my results:

You can also get back to us to specify which certain fields you want to be prepopulated, so we can help you form the whole URL parameters.

Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to help you with this.

thanks I would need all the fields that aren't calculations to prepopulate

Hi info_info639_Taxi,

Thanks for getting back to us. As mentioned by our teammate, it is possible to prepopulate form fields. This guide will show you how. Please note that prepopulating Form Fields via URL Parameters supports the following fields:

• Full Name
• Email
• Address
• Short Text
• Long Text
• Fill in the Blank
• Phone
• Number
• Date Picker
• Time
• Dropdown
• Single Choice
• Multiple Choice
• Scale Rating
• Spinner

Here's an example how the prepopulated URL looks like that you can insert to the Thank You page.

https://jotform.com/241215513026241?driverName={driverName}&driverNumber={driverNumber}&unitNumber175={unitNumber175}

Click here to view the prepopulated URL in action on a cloned form.

Give it a try and let us know if there's anything else we can do for you or if you're having difficulties prepopulating the form fields.

I was able to get it mostly working except, I have a few fields that are time ranges and it populates the first part of the range but not the second one

Hi info_info639_Taxi,

So that we can help you better, can you share with us the link to your related forms and indicate the fields you're working on. This will allow us to understand what's happening further and assist you further.

After we hear back from you, we’ll have a better idea of what’s going on and how to help.

So here is the first form that my drivers fill out

https://form.jotform.com/240905829217056

and here is the second one

https://form.jotform.com/241215513026241

and this is the url that I made based off the answers I got above

https://www.jotform.com/form/241215513026241?driverName={driverName}&driverNumber={driverNumber}&unitNumber175={unitNumber175}&hallconTrip177={hallconTrip177}&trainNumber={trainNumber}&dispatcherName={dispatcherName}&client={client}&date={date}&requestedPickup={requestedPickup}&startTime={startTime}&outgoingCrew={outgoingCrew}&outgoingEmployee={outgoingEmployee}&backhaulCrew={backhaulCrew}&backhaulEmployee={backhaulEmployee}&pickUp={pickUp}&arrivalTime={arrivalTime}&startOdometer={startOdometer}&arrivalOdometer={arrivalOdometer}&destination1={destination1}&arrivalTime35={arrivalTime35}&arrivalOdometer38={arrivalOdometer38}&destination2={destination2}&backhaul43={backhaul43}&arrivalTime44={arrivalTime44}&arrivalOdometer47={arrivalOdometer47}&destination3={destination3}&backhaul51={backhaul51}&arrivalTime52={arrivalTime52}&arrivalOdometer55={arrivalOdometer55}&tripDetails={tripDetails}&arrivalTime59={arrivalTime59}&tripDetails63={tripDetails63}&arrivalTime64={arrivalTime64}&tripDetails68={tripDetails68}&departureTime70={departureTime70}&assistCharge={assistCharge}&meterCharge={meterCharge}

My goal was to have our drivers enter in the fields on the first form and when they hit submit it automatically fills out the second form and submits without the driver seeing the information on the second form as there is a different set of calculations that happen on the second form. I have got almost all of that working properly except for the time range part on the second form it doesn't auto populate the second part of the range. I have screenshotted 2 examples.

Hello info_info639_Taxi,

Thanks for getting back to us. I cloned your form and tested it to see if I could replicate the issue, but departure time was filled out. Check out the screenshot below to see my results:

I've gone ahead and cleared your form caches as an additional aid. Can you try it again and see how it goes? If you run into the same issue again, please share a recording of what's happening and share the link with our Support Forum. You can upload the video recording to any public sharing platform like Google Drive, YouTube, or Dropbox and share the public link with us. You can also use Loom to record the video and share the video link with us.

Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to move forward with a solution.

This still doesnt work for me,

Hi info_info639_Taxi,

I understand the issue, but I'll need a bit of time to look into this. I will be back shortly.

Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.

Hi info_info639_Taxi,

Please use the following syntax to get both time in time range:

arrivalTime=09:51&arrivalTime[timeInputRange]=10:51

It should look like this, for example:

As for your other question about the Jotform Mobile App, I moved it to a new thread to avoid confusion. You can check that out here.
