    Hi Remi,

    Yes, you can automatically pass values from Dropdown field to your Spreadsheet to Form widget. If the passed value is available on your Spreadsheet, then the widget will fill out the fields automatically. Let me show you how to do that:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Settings, then Conditions.

    2. Next, create a new Update/Calculate field condition that passes the Dropdown field to the Spreadsheet to Form widget. Do not forget to click Save after creating the condition.

    3. Now, in Build tab, click on your Spreadsheet to Form widget's Wand icon.

    4. Then Enable the Autofill by Condition option and that's it.
