Auto populate field on form

ClaireRichard · 09/18/18

I am trying to have a field auto populate in a form, however only a portion of the field will come through. The fields that are linked have several lines of text with skipped lines. Am I missing a simple functionality so that the entire text in that field will come through?

Hi Claire,

Have you selected that the fields should be multi-line fields in the form set up?

Can you share the sheet/form?

I hope this helps you!

I just tried it myself, and it works for me. Do you have the information in the default value field in the form set up?

Maybe I misunderstood. Do you want some value to populate from the sheet and change automatically? Unfortunately, that isn't possible.

It sounds to me that you maybe should use update requests instead.

Would that work for you?

Best,

Andrée
