autopopulation

Forms fill themselves

Autopopulation is the automatic filling of data fields without manual entry.

Forms autopopulate with saved information—name, address, payment details—based on previous inputs or connected databases.

The feature speeds up repetitive tasks: The system autopopulates your shipping address from your last order.

Common in software, web forms, and spreadsheets where predictable data can be anticipated.
