Want to auto-populate fields based on the previous page visited. For example, if someone on the Product A page clicks the Request a Quote button and is taken to the Request a Quote form, I want the Product field in the form to auto-populate with -Product A- because that is the page the visitor came from. I was told this can be done in the Elementor Pro Form, but I see no intuitive process for that. Can I use a custom Button ID, or a URL or a special short code? Do you have a separate video for that? Please let me know. I searched for -Auto-populate fields in Elementor Pro Forms- and ended up here, which does not cover that at all.

Elementor's forms is only good for the most BASIC of forms, and even then they a LET DOWN. Elementors forms widget is only SLIGHTLY BETTER than a standard 1980's wordpress form plugin.
Elementor Forms is the BIGGEST DISAPPOINTING widget of all time.
Elementor needs to attend to this issue as FIRST PRIORITY, as they will lose more and more clients as forms handling has become a VERY IMPORTANT part of ANY MODERN WEBSITE. Without a proper Elementor forms handling widget, a website builder like Elementor can prepare themselves for MASSIVE MARKET SHARE LOSSES!

This is a very, VERY good tutorial and got me -almost- all of the way home.
My issue might be kind of unique - I have a membership form to join our organization where I need to ask the applicants which of the 256 counties they operate within our state. At first I had a Select box with multiple allowed, but the list is just too long. So I changed it to a checkbox as an inline list. This is better
but... it would be even better if it lined up all of the choices into nice, neat columns.
Is there any way to do that?

Ever interesting
When can we use the form to publish post/Cpt and to manage our posts or users?
How to send media attached between attachments and not with an internal link?
how can we take some info form page on that we insert the form (for example the user name or mail or others similar info to autopublish our form without to present empy fields to users?
When we could customize the sending mails with custom templates applied to mail on that we can manage fields used on form?
Thank You

Coming up to 2 months and you still haven't fixed the navigator, you'd rather release videos like this than actually fix existing problems. I can certainly see why a lot of people are slowly but surely leaving Elementor.
Pointless contacting support I'm getting bored of reading the same templated replies.
I'm sure you'd fix any problem straight away if somebody like WPCrafter had the same problem but us regular users don't count, I guess.

This is a good tutorial. I think you should look towards adding an extra feature to your select or checkbox options that automatically adds a dynamic text field that shows up for instance when the user clicks on others out of a group of items. So they can write their option if their option isn-t currently available in the drop down. Cheers!-

How can you show all the information BEFORE submit? I need to show a preview.
The Form Widget of Elementor can let the person go back to modify the information?
This is EXTREMELY important, specially if you have a big form with acceptance and legal stuff. I think the term for this is -clickwrap agreement-. HELP :(

Thanks for this enlighten tutorial. It would be possible to add some style to check box fields?. For example, place them inside a rectangle with certain color background or place above them a kind of short note explaining about the check boxes or just centering them or otherwise aligning or margining them?. Thanks again!

Please be more descriptive in your YouYube titles. I tried to use the form just to find out that this only works in Elementor -Pro.- You have a great program and not all of your users can afford the upgrade. Please be sure to inform us when you are discussing features that are specific to your Pro version.

Thank you for such great tutorial. I have a question for you.
How could I perform simple calculations?
For example, when the user entered -2- in the first field and -3- in the second field, the form returns -5- as the total calculated.
Please advise.
