If you’re building forms in Softr and users are repeatedly entering information your system already knows, you’re creating unnecessary friction and messy data.

In this video, I explain how prefill works in Softr, why it’s essential for building real applications (not just forms), and how to use it correctly to keep your data clean and relational.

I walk through a real ATS (Applicant Tracking System) example, showing how a candidate can apply for a specific job while the form automatically:

Prefills hidden fields
Passes context between pages
Links the application to the correct job requisition
Keeps the database clean from day one
No manual selection. No broken relationships. No cleanup later.

What you’ll learn:

What prefill is in Softr (plain English)
Where prefill lives in Softr forms
Different prefill sources (page context, logged-in user, URL parameters)
Why hidden prefilled fields are critical
How Softr uses prefill to auto-link related records
Common mistakes that lead to bad data
A live ATS demo: Apply → Prefilled Form → Correctly Linked Record

If you’re building systems like ATSs, CRMs, onboarding portals, or internal tools, prefill is not optional, it’s foundational.
