Hi Webflowers,
I’m looking to have a button on a CMS page carry data to a form.
Right now, my CTA for all 35 products link to the same contact page where users have to then select the product again. The problem is users have to re-type in the product in the general contact form.
What I’m looking to do is either a) pre-populate the contact form based on where they just came from (eg dwellito.com/inquire?home=kbox” ) or b) have a specific form specific of the product CMS template. Is there a way to do this?
This approach only worked for one product and I need it to be tied to each CMS product: How? Button Click to go to new page (containing Form) and select appropriate Checkbox within Form - #3 by rossmcfadden
Here is my public share link: Cocoon Cabin | 480 sf | 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, Kitchenette
Click on “Get Estimate” - then see the input filed “WHICH MODULAR HOME(S) ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?”

This is doable. You pass a hidden cms reference with the form. Did you search the forum. I think someone even did a vid somewhere.

Hi @caleb , Sorry mate been off grid. Hey so I have to set up similar this week. Others have posted good tips recently.
My friend Meodai just gave me a super tip to customize form fields within a collection item for this specific collection item.
My Case
My client wants to have an event collection where people can sign up for this event. This form field should be sent to a google sheet for further use. (Send Event-Details etc.)
So I set up a Collection for this event. Made a section for the sign up with a form block.
Added a hidden form field with the embed component into this form block.

Or for a dropdown use case

Something I continually find myself needing is Collection-driven population for FORM SELECT elements. WebFlow doesn’t provide support for this so I’ve usually hacked together some script to populate it myself.
Finally I decided to do it properly as a jQuery-based databinding utility library.
Sharing it here in case others have the same need.
Key features;
Allows you to bind any CMS Collection to a Webflow Select form control.
Allows you to filter and sort the Collection to your ne…
