Hi
I have created 2 forms:
FORM 1
I have created a paragraph that generate a QR code that supposedly capture {name} and {date} values.
<p><img src="https://quickchart.io/qr?text=ID:{id}%0ANome:{nome}%0AEscolhas:{data}&size=150" alt="QR Code0" width="150" height="150" /></p>
https://form.jotform.com/251408147983059
FORM 2
I would like to scan the form1 and display the content or in a paragraph ou in fields.
https://form.jotform.com/251408352389057
So far I was able to create the QR code and also scan it but it is not displaying the results!
I would like if in a paragraph to display something like this
Nome
Date
Exemplo
Jota
01/01/1983
Or if in a field populate the field
Nome (jota)
Date (01/01/1983)
Could you please help me, thanks!

Hi mbgroupbrazil,
Currently, Jotform does not have a built-in feature that can automatically decode a scanned QR code and display its content directly in another form's paragraph or field. However, a similar result can be achieved by using URL parameters to pass data from one form to another.
Here’s how to do it:
- Generate the QR code in Form 1 with the data you want to pass (you've done this part already).
- Encode the data in the QR code as URL parameters that link to Form 2. For example, your QR code can encode a URL like https://form.jotform.com/251408352389057?nome=Jota&data=01/01/1983.
- Set up Form 2 to prefill fields using these URL parameters. You can use Jotform's URL Parameters feature to prepopulate fields in Form 2 based on the values passed in the URL.
You can use the How to Automatically Pass Form Data to Another Form guide. Also, here is a helpful guide on How to Prepopulate Fields to Your Jotform via URL Parameters that explains the process step-by-step.
Once you have the URL with parameters encoded in the QR code, scanning the QR code will open Form 2 with the fields already populated with the scanned data.
If you want to display the scanned data in a paragraph element, you can use the form fields to show the data after prefill or use custom scripts outside Jotform to parse the URL parameters and display them.
Give it a try and let us know if you need any other help.
