Auto populating fields in a second Nintex form

I have two SharePoint lists, one called 'Suppliers' which stores all supplier details and has open access and another called 'Supplier Reviews' which has restricted access and contains review details.

On the nintex form for 'Suppliers' I have added a button called 'Create a review of this supplier' which opens a new nintex form on the 'Supplier Review' library.

What I would like to do is for the supplier name to be auto populated on the new form when the button has been clicked.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

Hi,

Since "suppliers" have open access (Anonymous access), what do you mean by supplier name? The one opening the form (Anonymous)?

Hi,

Supplier Name is just the title field of the entry in Suppliers and is a free text field. It refers to the name of a business supplying a product.

append to the link that opens review form a token like: &SupplierName=SomeCurrentSupplierName

then on supplier review form, configure default value for respective supplier field like

fn-GetQueryString("SupplierName")

and it should populate value 'SomeCurrentSipplierName' into the field
