How to Customize New Item Form to take parameters from Query String in the SharePoint 2010

In here I'm going to explain how to customize the SharePoint Item From to take parameters from Query String and set them as default values using SharePoint designer. Using this you can open a new Item From by providing parameters as query string. For an example you can customize one item Display form and taking query String Parameter from that and view New Item view for another list by providing default values using the Query String.

Hi,

Thanks for the helpful post. In this case the query string value will always be a static value, ie."asdasdasd". How would you pass the current value from the ViewData Form into the NewItem Form? It would be something like this "...aspx?com=@Comment". Is something like this possible?

Thanks for your help.

@ Trung Nguyen,

Yeh it is possible. Query string will work with dynamic values as well

Melick, appreciate the quick reply.

I have a ViewData Form where only 1 item is shown at a time, and each item has a ProductID. I want to pass that ProductID into the NewItem Form using this "....AddNewProductForm.aspx?ParamID={$ProductID}" ParamID is able to pass through a value to the NewProductForm if I manually assign a value to ProductID, but it will be blank on the pass through if I don't, ie. it does not pass through the current ProductID that is being displayed.

Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance.
