Also looking for this. Google Forms has less features yet is able to do this. It's very useful when you need to identify that specific response with other identifiers.
Simple one being job application, you can have one application form but prefill the vacancy ID so that you know what job they are applying for.
Another one would be a feedback form where you need to match that feedback with a specific case ID.

drkmccy I always used Google Forms and now I'm working in a company that only use Microsoft365 environment and I'm struggling having few basic features Google Forms had, like:
- Passing parameters and even submitting the form via URL, in this way I could create dynamic links in e-mail and with Power Automate creating some sort of ERP without wasting time in Power Apps
- Free Integration such as Autocrat that is able to generate (Word and PDF) documents and e-mails easily based on a simple form (a thing that even with Power Automate is hard if not impossibile to achieve)
It's really frustrating, I can't believe they had time to think about introducing background music in a Form and not these really basic features.
