HI, just trying to figure out how to fill up a Google Form like this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdrMfX4SrSpJgwN-tKO4LTXH1duFEFpqTndl4h6jdajmoivGw/viewform

But based on it's the field's title. 

Thank you!

Hi Daniel, maybe this post can put you on the right track: https://groups.google.com/g/chrome-autofill/c/eT5Jrey-Fdc/m/wIqzE_H-CgAJ

Hi! Thanks for the reply. I understand how that works, but based on that example, I would like to have my field identifier be "Name" instead of ^i1$ or 'Description' instead of ^Your Answer$.
Just wondering if this is possible, thank you!

That should be possible as long as you have "fuzzy label matching" enabled (you may also need to enable delay).

There is a known bug where if you enable "fuzzy label matching" it can cause checkbox rules to not autofill correctly.

"fuzzy label matching" only help fill which is number

@Định Nguyễn you need to inspect the form fields (right click mouse on a form field) to find a name you can use such as <div name="Age2" or id="Age123" and use either of these names into the type fields in your autofill.

This rule works fine for me:

Type = Text
Name = your age
Value = 25

Delay = 0.5s
Fuzzy label matching enabled

I know. Can you fill all blanks of this form  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxaZhFHMaNXXyZ__p5sMYJS0y9EpxGUG4LnZr-IUtB8r3LSA/viewform?
As you see in below pictures. Only can fill the blank "your age"
Can't fill "Your name" and "Your address" with your rule.

It appears for Google Forms you'll have to disable fuzzy matching (but still enable 0.5-1s delay) and rely on the wizard to generate the rules for you. These rules worked for me:

I see and it's working on your rule.
But can't fill a  Google Form based on the field's title instead of it's aria-label?
Example  this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxaZhFHMaNXXyZ__p5sMYJS0y9EpxGUG4LnZr-IUtB8r3LSA/viewform 
only can use "^i1$"for "Your Name" blank?,can't use "Name"    instead of  "^i1$" ?

No, and the reason is this:


Notice how you can create fields with exact same label? The only way to reliably autofill Google Forms is to use "Add autofill rules for this page" command.

Ok,I see. If I used rule with   "^i1x" , this tool only can  auto-fill this form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxaZhFHMaNXXyZ__p5sMYJS0y9EpxGUG4LnZr-IUtB8r3LSA/viewform) correctly in the first time because The blanks of this form are continuously swapped after reloading form.

Hi, thanks for providing the screenshots -- I now understand your situation and have enhanced Autofill to allow you to use labels to match Google Forms fields :)


This will arrive with v9.6.5.
