You will need to do pretty much custom coding for that.</p> <p>You basically need to modify the "includes/view-functions.php" file, particularly inside the "mf_display_address()" function to be able doing the lookup into the data table based on the user input. I suggest to hire a programmer to do this modification, since it won't be pretty simple changes. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/pre-populate-form-data-from-table#post-16604 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 06:21:50 +0000 aprilanderson 16604@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>We are going to use the URL parameter option and link the client ID to a form. However, we would like to be able to also have the address information pre-filled out. Obviously, this is too much information to include in the URL parameters. I was wondering if:</p> <p>1) I could load this data directly into the table in the database (you can easily export it... is there a way to import in through the backend)?</p> <p>2) When the user linked to the form, it would read the client ID and then be able to find the entries in the table and pre-populate the form? </p>
