Can I pre-populate a form with data from a sheet?
I am looking to create a form that will pull in current data tied to an ID from a sheet. I envision having the user enter the ID in the form and certain fields will pre-populate based on the entry. Is this possible, or is there an alternate solution?

I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- Have it auto populate after submission in the sheet
- Using URL query to have the values prepopulated in the form
Would any of those options work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

thanks @Andrée Starå - can you elaborate on using URL query to have the values prepopulated in the form? How would that process work?

I have faced the same issue for one project so we tried this option, You can auto-populate the data into the forms by creating a form link by the following formula.
After the form link, I used the following to auto-populate the data-
?&ID%20No=541212&Location=Room1&Location=Room2
Where, %20 represents the space, ‘&’ is used to join the link with multiple entries to be populated in the form.
Images are attached for your reference.
