    Can you look at this URL and advise as to why form 2 is not receiving the value from form one?

    Unfortunately, it is only possible to pass data from one table to another by first passing the data of the first table into a separate form calculation widget (you need to do it for each cell). That's because the table holds the data not as a single input, but as an array of answers.

    Then, you can paste the data into second table using the following format of URL:

    Here is a demo form: https://form.jotform.com/202163943100038

    Then what are the field IDs for?

    The field IDs could be used to pre-populate the direct link of the form.

    https://form.jotform.com/202165358005044?typeA[0][0]=1&typeA[0][1]=2&&typeA[1][0]=3&typeA[1][1]=4

    It is not possible to populate the data from an Input table in form 1 to another input table in the second form.

    As my colleague suggested, you need to add a new "Form Calculation" widget for each matrix/input table cell. Then pass this data to the second form's input table.

    Let us know if you have further questions

    Thanks.
