I don’t know if this is possible by using just HTML, but any ideas (including plug ins!) I’d love to hear!

Thanks.

1) How do I make it so when they return to that page, the form field are prefilled with previous info they submitted?
2) I understand there may be privacy concerns if falling into the wrong hands, but for long forms, it can be annoying having to re-fill in all the info, and not being sure what has been filled prior..

Thanks for your suggestions.
Cheers

Surely, each time this page is loaded, the form ought to be empty?

Thank you

I have a (private) page with a Customer form which stores company information of each new customer (company names, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers and websites) in associated database, including customer numbers which my company provides. Then I have a (public) page with an Appointment form which my known customers can use to make appointments with my company.

The issue:
I want all company fields to automatically get pre-filled once the customers manually fill in their associated customer numbers. Does anyone know how to get this done?

FYI:
Michael Simpson’s tutorials on how to create shortcodes to access form data via PHP (https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=444 and https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=367) have helped me quite a bit, though. I found out how to have my Appointment form pull a specific company name from my Company data database and display it in the Company name field based on the customer number “123456” I put as the array(‘search’ => criteria in the shortcode:

require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/CFDBFormIterator.php');
$exp = new CFDBFormIterator();
$exp->export('Company data', array('search' => '123456'));
while ($row = $exp->nextRow()) {
echo $row['Company name'];
}

Secondly, I added a dynamic text field into my Appointment form linked to above shortcode, which nicely displays the company name associated with customer number “123456”:

Company name:
[dynamictext Company name 'shortcode']

The problem with this, though, is that it pulls and displays ALL company names from the database CONTAINING the customer number criteria in ANY of the database fields. So if a company’s telephone number contains the criteria “123456”, that company will also be pulled and displayed from the database, while I want it only to pull and display one result, which is the company containing that exact customer number.
Also, the array(‘search’ => criteria in this case is static. I want it to be variable, thus to be linked to the Customer number input field on my Appointment form, so that the Company name field (and of course all other company fields) automatically get pre-populated when customers decide to make an appointment.

Any help is appreciated.

I have managed to prefill some checkoutfields like City or adress_1 – but the postcode is not prefilled with the same syntax:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
     $fields['billing']['billing_address_1']['default'] = 'Street';
	 $fields['billing']['billing_city']['default'] = 'City';
	 $fields['billing']['billing_postcode']['default'] = '12345';
     return $fields;

Also tried to apply this with the woocommerce_default_address_fields filter in addition:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_address_fields' , 'custom_override_default_address_fields' );

function custom_override_default_address_fields( $address_fields ) {
     $address_fields['address_1']['default'] = 'Street';
	 $address_fields['city']['default'] = 'City';
	 $address_fields['postcode']['default'] = '12345';
     return $address_fields;
}

But only Postcode is not prefilled.
