Hello,

I have a **Task** database where I created a 1-n relation with a database **Feedbacks**. On the **Feedbacks** database I created a Form and hidden the relation field _(Task)_. I tried to customize the URL to pre-fill the Form so the feedback is related to a specific task.

If the relation field is hidden on the form, when the end-user submit the form, the entity is not linked to the task. If the relation field is shown on the form, the task is correctly pre-filled and when the form is submitted, the entity is correctly linked to the task.

Is it a bug or I’m I missing something ? I didn’t find any information about that.

Thanks for your help.

Jonathan

Yes, I followed this example :

As mentioned, it works if the field is not hidden on the form.

( **Allow to set hidden fields via URL** is active)

I tested this functionality and it behaved as expected for me.  
Perhaps you can record a video and upload it here so that we can see what’s happening.

Hello @Chr1sG, first, my apologise as I never came back to you about this subject. I needed to switch to other things at the moment. I’m now building something new that will require the usage of this function. I will post again if I see any issue.
