Pre-populate fields in Microsoft Forms via URL parameter?
- Sending context-aware survey invitations and capturing the response with a particular context is a feature of Forms Pro, which can be combined with Flow.
You will find detailed walkthrough articles in Megan Walker blog covering the different steps involved. Here is one of her posts:

This would be incredible useful. I used this quite a lot with G Forms at my previous employer. It allows me to automatically send out pre-filled but still editable information. For instance, when sending out Inventory acknowledgement forms, it allows me to tell users "This is what we have for you in inventory:" The user can then edit it if necessary and I can compare in spreadsheets and follow up for discrepancies. This level of customization is why G rules this space.
I also really need this feature, so will need to use Google Forms for now.
I really wish MS would cut back on the cutting edge AI a little, and work on a few basic features which Office doesn't have but Google does - functionality that we need to get our work done.JesseDuffield I could not agree with you more. MS need to get it together and make these products useable and have at least feature parity with competitors, but they should be aiming higher. Development is so slow and uservoice seems to be ignored.
Dave_LeeI think they want to show off their cool AI progress, which is good in its own right, but not at the expense of basic functionality.
For example, I waste hours trying to load and select photos from a given date, because it's not possible to search for "August 2017" in Onedrive, and scrolling through thousands of photos is slow and often causes the page to reload, even in MS's own Edge. This basic 'search by date' function is, of course, built into Google Photos' free version - another case of no parity even with free competition.
But I can search for "pizza" and Onedrive will actually find pizza among my photos. Priorities???
