Q: How can I create a form from an external source? (Look up)

Question

For example, I want to place a variables and insert the value from a google sheet - that would bring in more dynamicly.

Our usecase:
a school want to manage their photo releases via form. So, name, birthday & course should be delivered by an external source, depending on a prevously condition (insert an ID and the form will load the concerned data from the google sheet into the form).
Any idea ? ;-)

I see the url parameters ..but they are not dynamic - so it fits not 100%

Creating forms from external resources is currently not possible. Once our API is available later this year, you will be able to create forms via the API. When creating a form, as a response, you will get the identifiers for pre\u002Dfillable fields.\u000a\u000aThen you could use this data to further build your use\u002Dcase and make use of our existing pre\u002Dfilling, like you already mentioned.
