Auto-populate fields in GeoForm?

LeaHarper1

Is it possible to have fields in the GeoForm application automatically populate based upon information from a selection?

I have been building an app using ArcGIS API for Javascript 3.20 . In the application, when a user clicks on a feature, the popup appears with some information and a link to the GeoForm. If possible, it would be awesome if some of the fields in the form could be filled with information based on the user's selection.

Found a sort of round-about solution with the help of a coworker! Add the fields you want to automatically populate into the url (because I'm switching between two apps):

Added this script into the index.html:

   <script>
   function getParameterByName(name, url) {
      if (!url) {
         url = window.location.href;
      }
      name = name.replace(/[\[\]]/g, "\\$&");
      var regex = new RegExp("[?&]" + name + "(=([^&#]*)|&|#|$)"),
         results = regex.exec(url);
      if (!results) return null;
      if (!results[2]) return '';
      return decodeURIComponent(results[2].replace(/\+/g, " "));
   }
   </script>

Then added the following into the main.js file:

   dom.byId('FORM FIELD HERE').value = getParameterByName('UID');
