Prepopulated Field

Karen Pritchett

How can I set a Name:Text box to be pre-populated with the user name of the person who is completing the form. If I send a form to Billy Joel then I would like the Name: box to say "Billy Joel" once they open it. Thank you!

I would probably just make the first entry in the form "Your Name" and make it required.

Hi @Karen Pritchett

I hope you're well and safe!

You would either need to:

• Use the URL-query feature
• Default value feature
• Enable that they have to be logged in, and then the user will be saved in the Created By system column in the sheet (they will not see their name in the form)

Would any of those options work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic day!
