Pre populate a form field via url

[pundip]

My scenario is I am in detail view of a record and I want to link out from there to an add view of creating another record on a different list (to send an email for example) but I want to populate a field in the new record with a field from the record I linked out from. Something like having a send email button which opens up a new record on a different list and populates email from the record I linked out of.

so create a link like
index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=form&formid=your-new-formID&newList___element1={oldList___element1} &newList___element2={oldList___element2}...

Thank you. I have tried that and it has worked for me.

yes, it also works with multiple fields. I enclose example. It can be useful to someone
/site/index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=form&formid=150&ptb_integ_doc___ndg={ptb_gct___ndg_raw}&ptb_integ_doc___deb={ptb_gct___IDG_raw}&ptb_integ_doc___parent_id={ptb_gct___id_raw}&Itemid=
