    Hi gianpi701,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Regarding your concern about data being visible in the URL bar when transferring data from one form to another, this happens because the data is passed via URL parameters (GET method), which exposes the information in the URL.

    To hide this data and prevent users from seeing it in the URL bar, you can consider the following approaches in Jotform:

    • Avoid passing data via URL parameters: Instead of using URL parameters to transfer data, use other methods such as prepopulating fields through POST requests or using integrations that do not expose data in the URL.
    • Use conditional logic and widgets: You can use the Get Form Page URL widget combined with conditional logic to control the visibility of fields based on the URL content, but this does not hide data from the URL itself.
    • Embed forms securely: Embedding forms within your website using secure methods can help control data flow without exposing it in the URL.

    Unfortunately, Jotform does not provide a direct feature to completely hide data passed via URL parameters when linking forms. If you need to securely transfer data between forms without exposing it in the URL, you might need to explore server-side solutions or API integrations outside of the URL parameter method.

    Let us know if you want guidance on alternative ways to transfer data securely between forms.

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