If you'd like to create a custom link in your View to open a new page with a form, where some fields would be dynamically populated by the entry values, you could easily do it with GravityView and the [Custom Content](https://www.gravitykit.com/docs/gravityview/getting-started-gravityview/using-the-custom-content-field/) field type.

 Let's imagine you have a Job Board, and you would like to add a link in the single-entry view (the Job description) to allow the candidate to apply to the job using a form (Gravity Forms). You would also like the form to be pre-populated with the job title or the reference (from the View).

 To accomplish this setup, follow these steps:

- Add a Custom Content field to the View, and add a merge tag in the GravityView field configuration (here, `{Job Title:4}`)

- Let's say the Job Title for this entry is "Manager."
- Edit the form to Apply to the job, and set up the Gravity Forms field to "Allow field to be populated dynamically."![Field settings with "main business phone" and options for dynamic population, visibility, and parameter name input](https://www.gravitykit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/screen_shot_2014-12-11_at_11.18.43_am.png)
- The value will be filled in on the Gravity Forms form. The link should generate like this:  
     `example.com/page/?example=Manager`
