How it works

Only share each update link with people who should see all of that page’s properties. An update link acts as a key to the entire page: anyone who opens it can view every property on the page, even properties that don’t appear as questions on the form. This is what lets update forms use any page property for pre-filling, answer piping, show/hide logic, and calculations.To keep certain properties private, store them in a separate database so they aren’t part of the page being updated, or restrict prefilled data so the form only loads properties mapped to questions.
