prepopulate

Enter data automatically

Prepopulate means to fill in data fields or form entries automatically before a user interacts with them.

Software commonly prepopulates forms with information already on file, saving users the trouble of retyping their name, address, or other details.

The checkout page prepopulated my shipping address from my account settings.

The term extends to databases and spreadsheets that come preloaded with default values or sample data.
