The questions and answers here are all from 11/2016; has the capability to prepopulate across forms been included since then?

While we don’t have plans to make updates to allow autocomplete currently, I’m happy to draw attention to these comments and discuss this with our product development team. Thank’s again, your input is appreciated!

The Forms settings/payment integration part does not show me the check box to send email receipts.

Refer: http://www.wufoo.com/2015/06/01/4-steps-to-email-greatness/

Can somebody help why the option is not available under my account?

@Geoff Not at this time I’m afraid. Since we aren’t able to pre-fill data based on previous entries, or an outside source, the best bet is for the user to fill in their details with each submission. I understand that can be a bit tedious for multiple registrations, however it’s not something our platform is currently able to offer.

@Thomas Thank you for taking the time to read our blog, and for your constructive comment. Currently, we’ve chosen to make this sacrifice of convenience for the safety and integrity of your forms. One reason behind this is that Auto-fill is a highly used feature with spam-bot programs and other spamming agents. We definitely understand this would be a useful feature, and we’re sorry that it’s not something we’re currently able to enable on forms in wufoo.

eg returning students / customers get invited to a new course / event?
Otherwise, more that a little time intensive and not always practical..

As the class is always different, so is the form…so as with others a solution across multiple forms is the only solution that will bring happiness to our repeat students!!!!

Expecting your end user to save and use a unique link is unrealistic.
