Populate Custom Fields via Form Submissions

After creating custom fields in your Motion.io account, you can use them to dynamically populate project-specific information in tasks, portal pages, and iframe embeds.

This article will explain how you can use the information clients enter when completing a Motion.io form to automatically set unique custom field values in each project where it is submitted.

How to Populate Custom Fields from Form Submissions

Open the "Forms" page from your account sidebar, and click the edit icon next to the form that contains the fields you want to use. Hover over a field, click the "gear" icon on the left, and select "Populate custom fields" from the dropdown.

In the slideout on the right side of your screen, click "Enable population" and specify the custom field you'd like to populate with information your clients enter into the field of that form.
