    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}&amp;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:

    1. Generate the QR code in Form 1 with the data you want to pass (you've done this part already).
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
