Streamlining Data Entry: Pre-filled Microsoft Forms

[@ScottPerley]

I love that you walk through the concept and then come up with other options and then build them on the fly! I learn so much! Thank you!

Hi Thanks for wonderful video. Could I ask if there is a way to make the pre-filled field in MS Form view only. It mean user cannot edit these pre-filled value?

[@WonderLaura]

No, I tried hiding a field that was prefilled, by using branching logic, but when it was hidden, the data didn’t get submitted with the form, it was empty.

I agree this would be very useful to prevent inadvertent changes to a prefilled field such as a customer number. The user could always alter the url but this would require intention on the part of the user. Seems like a simple and powerful feature for MS to offer,

Thanks for this video. :) I tried to prefill a ID and use this to edit a Sharepointlist Item. But unfortunatly didnt allow me to select the ID in Sharepoint. It also didnt work to initialize a variabel with the ID. How can i achieve this? 😊

[@WonderLaura]

I did it successfully with an ID in a form, so I'm not sure exactly where you're stuck and specifically what your error is.

Thanks a lot for this wonderful and useful video!! I got an issue, i tried to do something similar, (the dynamic content was an ID) but in my case, i need send a form for customer satisfaction survey, and when the form its send to the same customer (because this customer got two different services whit two different ID's), customer got a message from MS Forms: Would you like to create a new draft? So, this is normal? or what i did wrong? Thanks for your help!!

[@WonderLaura]

I'm not sure, I've never seen that message.

@@WonderLaura Seems it's a message that appears when you have an open pre-filled form and have to open a second one (without send the first one) Thanks a lot for response and time. Regards, you got a new fan!!
