How can I automatically populate a form field with data from a page in Webflow and have that data submitted with the form?

To automatically populate a form field with data from a page in Webflow and have that data submitted with the form, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify the data you want to populate the form field with. This could be dynamic content on a specific page or information stored in a collection.

2. Add a HTML Embed element to the page containing the form. This element allows you to add custom code to your Webflow site.

3. In the HTML Embed element, write JavaScript code to fetch the data you need and populate the form field. You can use the Webflow API or custom JavaScript to accomplish this.

• If you're using the Webflow API, you'll need to use the fetch function to request the data from the relevant collection.
• If you're fetching data from a specific page, you can use JavaScript to target the desired element(s) and extract the data.

1. Once you have fetched the data, use JavaScript to populate the form field with the desired value. You can do this by targeting the form field's ID or class and setting its value property.

2. Make sure that the JavaScript code runs when the page loads. You can achieve this by wrapping your code in a function and calling it in the body of your HTML or using an event listener like DOMContentLoaded or load.

3. Finally, when the form is submitted, the populated data will be included in the form submission as if the user had manually entered the information.
