Hi, I need a view to open a form and pre-fill a specific field.  
I’ll explain:

VIEW

first name : abc

clicking on ABC I should open a form with the following fields  
date: manual  
customer: abc (must pre-fill the customer clicked first)

Thanks for your help

Hi Giuseppe! I think you are going to want to use the query string method for setting up this dynamic population. This documentation should help:

The bigger question may be how does the query string get attached to the correct information on your page/view. Be able to give you good advice about that, you’ll need to give us a little more information. Maybe a link to an example page if you can?
