Fill a form from your details
Work through a multi-page online form using details you supply once.
Fill it in
Where it lives.
Everything it will ask for.
Fill it and show you, rather than sending it.
Your prompt
Fill in the form at [the form] from these details. [your details] Read every field before typing anything, including the pages after this one. Multi-page forms routinely ask for something on page four that changes what you should have picked on page one, and most of them cannot go back. Never invent a value. If a required field is not covered by what I gave you, stop and ask. A form submitted with a guessed date of birth is worse than an unsubmitted form, because it is now a record. Do NOT submit. Fill it, screenshot every page, and show me what you entered. Report anything you could not fill and why.

Why this works
Multi-page forms routinely ask on page four for something that changes what you should have picked on page one, and most cannot go back. This reads ahead before typing, and it never invents a value: a form submitted with a guessed date of birth is worse than an unsubmitted one, because it is now a record.
Questions
- Will it submit?
- Only if you turn off the stop-before-submitting switch. By default it fills, screenshots and shows you.
