Populate the field values with query parameters from the URL

I want to populate the values of some of the fields of this calculator with query parameters from the url which it is loaded on.

Welcome to the Community, @Tobias_Balderson :wave:

Thanks a bunch for this idea! If it becomes popular, it might be considered in the future :slightly_smiling_face:

I am trying to create an ROI calculator as a lead magnet. The user will use the slider for two categories. That will then pass through a popup where they need to enter their name and email address. That will then go to a results page with their results. I had to maneuver the elfsight widget a bit for this. I removed the results page from the first page. I am having a problem saving the information in session storage to get it so I can adjust the calculator on the second page. I had a developer friend (who only works in backend development) look at it, and he said that the slider is not saving the new number in session storage. He said it might be possible to use CSS or JavaScript to do this, but he didn’t know how. Is this possible?

Here is the calculator page: ROI Calculator | Real Estate Rankers
Here is the results page: ROI Calculator Results | Real Estate Rankers

I’ve seen another site do this (not with Elfsight), and they are passing the results through query parameters, but the developer I know says that isn’t required.

Hi there, @user20321 :wave:

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to implement this idea, but we have a similar suggestion on the Wishlist. I’ve merged your comment with the original request, where we’ll keep you in the loop :slightly_smiling_face:

Also, I’d like to note that the Form feature allowing to send the results to email/spreadsheet is going to be released soon.

If you’re interested in this idea, feel free to upvote this request to not miss any updates - Send Results to email/spreadsheet
