Pre-Populate a form

Morning

I've got a simple form that we send to a manager to complete details for their new employee. The form is started by me in that I add the new employee basic details onto the Smartsheet. I want to then send a form to the manager, with 3-4 pre-set fields already completed (Name, location, etc.)

I could use an update request but I prefer using the form because it looks much nicer and you can have the additional help text under each question. I will have an alert email going to the manager with the basic details as fields in the alert text and a custom URL and wanted to also have the basic fields on the form..

I've created a URL as follows with just one field selected for the moment,

="https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/5d18ecc434424104a97bc76f95876a73?Employee%20Name=" + [Employee Name]@row

My issue is that for some reason, the employee name field is only taking the employees first name and not the full name from the field.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
