Web Form Autopopulation via URL
I am having problems with creating new URLs to auto-populate web forms. All of my old ones still work, and the regular web form functions still work, but I get an error stating the form is no longer active when I try to add information to the end of the URL. Is anyone else having this error?I am 100% sure my formula is correct, it's not like it is complicated. I even tried making a new sheet and web form from scratch and encountered the same error.

Luke I suggest you enquire with Support@smartsheet.com and send them an example or sheet share and i'm sure they can resolve your query.
Unless a community member has a suggestion? It could be a bug if it worked before?
Hope that Helps?

Yeah I already posted on the Support page yesterday afternoon, still awaiting a response. Posted here in the hope it was a bug or someone had found a user side solution.

Luke,
What is the query string you are using?
Thanks,
Kara(Smartsheet)

&Plant=DF&Area=6A
is one of the over 100 of them I am attempting to do. My old ones still work but I have been unable to make any new ones, even on a new sheet. I got rid of all of the spaces to double check i wasn't missing a %20 and that wasn't it. Even a single query such as
&alpha=1
doesn't seem to work anymore.

Thanks Luke -
I have filed a bug with our Dev team and I'll keep you posted.

Thanks I appreciate it. I edited my last comment to add a screenshot of the error.

Luke,
Just spoke with our dev team - this is expected behavior for a change we made recently with webform URLS.
Instead of the ampersand (&) use a question mark (?) before the query string.?Plant=DF&Area=6A will work.
I apologize that this was not communicated and we are updating our documentation immediately.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Kara -
Thanks for the solution, though it was a real headache for me while I was trying to problem solve it.That was hours of my time down the drain because I thought it was something on my side. Will I have to update my old queries now?
-
I'm so sorry Luke. And no, your old queries will still work.
