## The problem

I needed to enrich the data I had, therefore I’ve created a Form View into another database, and would trigger an automation to update the main database with form-filled data. The only thing I needed was to have a way to pass a field value on the Form URL, so then I would know which record is being updated and automations would update the correct row.

I had to make the users fill their ID on the form, which … solved the problem, but it’s not the best experience.

## Proposal

Would be great to have ways of passing in a field value on the queryString for a hidden field, for instance.

Then we could create a hidden field and use it as reference.

#### Benchmark:

ClickUP has a simple way to do it: [https://help.clickup.com/hc/en-us/articles/6310247500055-Forms-Hidden-Fields#heading-3](https://help.clickup.com/hc/en-us/articles/6310247500055-Forms-Hidden-Fields#heading-3)

> This is a feature request to introduce URL parameters to prepopulate stuff in Fibery. For example views, based on variables that can populate the view configuration, or search virables, or form fields. Why is this needed? Because in many cases, creating an embedded view as field relation, or a custom view is too much work and requires massive amounts of custom views to be maintained. The solution is to be able to prepopulate a view using URL parameters… Use cases: Customized User Experiences:…

If yes, I will merge the topics
