Embedded form: populated fields get deleted on submit

[AhmedAmer]

Hi, 

I have seen similar posts about this issue but none had a solution. namely: Embedded form clears prepopulated fields on focus/submit 

I am here hoping to find a solution since there has been no activity since 2019. 

I have a hubspot form that I am using to create support tickets. I am trying to prefill the form with known user information (since they are logged in). I have followed the documentation and have the following.

I am using the onFormReady event that is fired when the form is loaded.

onFormReady: (form) => {
  var jForm = $(form);
  var email = jForm.find("input[name$='email']")
              .val("test@gmail.com).change();
}

This works initially and the field is prefilled. However, as soon as I press submit the field is erased and I get an error saying that an email is required.

I have tried many different options and can't seem to find any that work. Can someone please help?

Thanks.

Hi @AhmedAmer,

Testing your code with a different email address works great for me, so I believe the issue is actually with the email that you chose. "test@gmail.com" is not a valid email according to HubSpot, so it will not accept that email, and ask for a new email. Could you try running your code with a different email like "test1234@gmail.com" which was successful for me.

Best,
