    Hi gianpi701,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can insert the unique name of the field on your first form and the unique name of the field on your second form on your form URL and then enter it in the URL field on the Thank You Page settings of your first form. Let me show you how to do it:

    First, let's get the unique name of your first form field:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Gear icon of your first form field.
    2. Click on the Advanced tab on the upper right side of the page.
    3. Click on the Field Details panel on the right side of the page, and copy the value in the Unique Name field.

    Once done, you must copy the unique name of your second form field as well. Now, let's insert those unique names on your second form link. Check out the form link format below:

    https://jotform.com/{secondFormID}?{secondFormFieldUniqueName}={firstFormFieldUniqueName}

    Finally, let's input that form link to your first form's Thank You Page settings:

    1. Click on Edit Thank You Page at the bottom of the page.

    2. Tick the radio button for Redirect to an External Link After Submission.
    3. In Redirect Submitters to an External Link, enter the form link you've configured earlier.

    After that, can you test your form to see if it's going to work?

    Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to help you with this.

    Hi gianpi701,

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to use the Prefill Form feature to achieve your goal. I cloned your form and I was able to populate the data from you Form 1 to Form 2 using the URL Parameters. Based on the screenshot you have provided, I was able to create the URL Parameter to fill the following fields on my cloned Form 2. Below is the URL Parameter I used for my demo form that you can check for your reference:

    https://form.jotform.com/251558435441458?prezzo={prezzoTot387}&ltstronggtconfermaNuovamente22[first]={ltstronggtdatiIntestatario:first}&ltstronggtconfermaNuovamente22[last]={ltstronggtdatiIntestatario:last}&email24={ltstronggtemailltstronggt}

    See screencast below for the result: URL Parameters: How to transfer the data on the first form to the second form? Image 1 Screenshot 20

    You can follow the instruction provided by my colleague Gian to create the URL Parameter for your form or you can edit my URL Parameter using the Unique Name Field of your forms.

    We also have a guide on Prepopulating Form Fields via URL Parameters that you can check out.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
