Populating form with previous submission

[kjkent]

Hi there, and thanks for developing such a useful tool.

I'm building a set of forms that a user will likely return to after submission. When a user returns to a form, is it possible to have that form prepopulated with their previous submission? I thought of fetching the info from the DB with a GET request, but I'm unsure of how to then insert this data into the form. If you have a suggestion for how I might accomplish this, I'd greatly appreciate your input (pun intended ;).

Many thanks.

@kjkent You could treat Form as a controlled component, and pass the previous submission as the formData prop. You would have to ensure you update formData using the onChange prop. See Quick Start -> Controlled Component.

Thank you; this is perfect.
