# Pre-filling a Google Form

> How to open a Google Form with answers already filled in from each Item's own fields, and which question types accept it.

```
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/FORM_ID/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.1234567890={{item.itemId}}
```

Every Link in the Collection then opens the same form carrying its own Item's data, so whoever
scans only answers what is actually new.

## Get the entry IDs from Google

You cannot guess them and should not try. In the form, open the three-dot menu, choose
**Get pre-filled link**, type anything into the questions you want pre-filled, then **Get link**.
Google hands you a complete working URL — swap your placeholder values for bindings.

`usp=pp_url` tells Google the URL carries pre-filled values. Each `entry.1234567890` is one
question, and the number is unique to that question in that form.

Several at once, joined by `&`:

```
...&entry.1234567890={{item.itemId}}&entry.987654321={{item.location}}
```

## Bind IDs, not sentences

QRtub inserts the value character for character and does **no URL encoding**, so a value
containing a space, `&`, `?` or `#` breaks the link. Bind an Item ID, a serial or a code — never a
description or a note.

If a binding cannot resolve, QRtub drops the Destination rather than opening a malformed form.

## What will not pre-fill

**File upload** — Google blocks it. And for multiple choice, checkbox and dropdown the value must
match one of the form's own options exactly, including capitalisation; a near miss silently
pre-fills nothing.
