Troubleshooting custom URL queries to populate forms
I am trying to create a URL query to pre-fill part of a form.
Here is the base form draft:
Here is the customization attempt (only one query for now) which does not seem to work:
Here is a screenshot showing that the field name matches the one in the query "FirstName"
Why isn't the first name field populating"
I am accessing it from a browser that is not signed into smartsheet as I understand this clears the query. The query still appears on the form in the custom version, but it does not populate to the form.

Hi @Milforde
If your form has label name then use the label "First Name" in stead of the field name "FirstName".
Try this url below. I added %20 (space charater) between the label name words
