    Hi prosisgroup,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, our Portuguese Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in Portuguese, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

    Now, coming back to your question, I didn’t fully understand the issue. Do you want to Import Data from Another form or do you want to pass data from one form to another?

    If you want to Import Data from Another Form, you can do this by first downloading the submission of this form as a CSV/Excel file and then importing it to the form that you want. Let me show you how:

    1. On your My Forms page, select the form with the submissions.
    2. Click the More button on the right side of the page then select Submissions.

    3. Select the submissions that you want to download and click the Download All button then select the file type that you want. You can check out this guide on How to Download Form Submissions as Excel, CSV, or PDF.

    4. Go to the Jotform Tables of the form that you want to import that data and click the +Add Tab.
    5. Select Table then click the Next button.
    6. Select Import Data then click the Next button.

    7. Upload the CSV/Excel file that you downloaded then upload them here and then click the Next button.

    8. Set the column types that you want then select Create. You can check out this guide on How to Import Data in Jotform Tables.

    If it is passing data from one form to another, you can use the Redirection Feature of the Thank You Page to pass the data using a URL. Let me show you how:

    • The first thing to do is to retrieve the Unique Name of the fields because we will use this on the URL. You can do this by clicking the Gear icon of a field and going to the Advanced tab. Then click the Field Details Downward Arrow icon.
    • You can also use the Field Populator Tool. You can check out this guide on Prepopulating Form Fields via URL Parameters.

    • Next is setting up the URL Parameters for passing of the data. Let's do this:

    1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the screen, click on Settings.
    2. Click on
    Thank You Page on the left side of the screen.
    3. Select the Redirect to an external link after submission option.

    4. Based on the Unique Name of the field, enter the URL like this:

    https://form.jotform.com/241237761451050?fullName[first]={yourName:first}&fullName[last]={yourName:last}&emailAddress={yourEmail}&shorterText={shortText}
