Can auto populate form field?

Question

Hi -We have a "Request Demo" form that can be accessed from all our site's product pages.This current form, supplied by our IT department, uses a query string value, possibly coupled with JavaScript to populate the "Model You're Interested In" field.We're interested in replacing this, and another similar form with a Marketo form, and wonder if this "auto-population" functionality can be achieved.Thanks for any suggestions.

There's no specific documentation. An example of the second approach would be this form...

...which has this hidden field w/AutoFill from a query param enabled...

...and this Rich Text field...

With a tiny bit of JS you can bring the hidden field into the open (as well as posting it with the form):

Yes. This is basic JS interpolation of query parameters (just as it is in your current form). On a Marketo form, you have two choices: use generic JS, or use the Marketo built-in hidden field AutoFill functionality to parse the value, then unhide the value afterward.
