You can pass in a parameter in the new form URL and retrieve it using the fn-GetQueryString inline function. Below is an example of how to do this in the Responsive Forms designer:

1. Add a new list column. In my example, I created a “Single line of text” column called Location.
2. Add the Location control to the form.
3. Configure the Location control settings.

• Default value source = Specify default value
• Default value = fn-GetQueryString(Location)

3. Add a URL parameter in the referring URL for a new form with what you want defaulted in the Location field in the new form. Here’s an example of the referring URL for a new item form: https://domain/site/YourList/NewForm.aspx?Location=Atlanta
4. When a user opens a new form from this URL, the Location field will have a default value of “Atlanta”.

Thanks, that works perfectly.

As an addition, can you also do this for multiple-choice columns? I’ve got it working for single-line textboxes and I’m assuming it works the same for single-choice columns and Yes/no columns, but how would it work for columns where users can pick multiple non-exclusive options?

You should be able use the same concept with the fn-GetQueryString() inline function to accomplish this.

For example, let’s say have a Choice control on your form named Color configured with Display Format = “Check boxes (Multiple-Selection)” and Choices are Red, White, and Blue.

To pre-populate the Color check boxes with Red and Blue:

• Configure the Color control with Default Value = fn-GetQueryString(Color)
• Set the URL to https://domain/site/YourList/NewForm.aspx?Color=Red;Blue
• Add the ?Color=Red;Blue parameter to the end of the URL.
