Prefill with field name instead of display value?

Technical Help

Hi!
My team and I are having so much fun setting n8n automations with our Baserow database. We really love it :slight_smile:
We are currently facing a weird behavior with the form prefill feature (we generate the prefill URL in a n8n workflow).
When creating a form in Baserow, it is possible to display a different name than the field to set. For instance, we can choose to display “enter your name” to fill the field name.
However, it looks like the prefill field name in the URL must be the displayed name (and not the field name) meaning something like ?prefill_enter+your+name=james. Is there a way to prefill with the field name?
Webhooks contain the name fields and not the displayed so we are stuck in the n8n workflow.
We have just move to the 1.19 version from the 1.13 and we didnt have this behavior in 1.13.
Thanks,
Asan

Hey @asan, it’s ranked very high on the list, so it should be released soon. :raised_hands:

You can view all the issue priorities by using this link: Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab. As you can see issue #1576 is on the 2nd page with one of the highest weights, so developers should pick up this task soon.
