I have to create a application form to gather information for a user. Later, there will be a second form to gather additional information from a subset of those who submitted the original form. I'd like to be able to pre-populate the second form with data from the first form. Is there a documented way to accomplish this? I have the initial form's data on a database, but don't see an easy way of providing this to the second form (there are about 15+ fields).

Hello,

Unfortunately there isn't a easy way of doing this. You will have to use the default value area of each field (or items section) to load the values directly from the DB.

I am lokking for a solution for this as well (if I interpret the question correct). Would it be possible for you to elaborate on the solution, i.e. the code that needs to be inserted in the default value field.

Specifically, I wish to populate a new form with submitted user data from a previous form, using a unique order number (already created in the "previous" form) as identifyer.

Your advise will be very much appreciated!
