Can I pass a radio button value and checkbox values through a URL using Powerforms in Docusign?

Question

Can I pass a radio button value and checkbox values through a URL using Powerforms in DocuSign?

These values would come directly from an application, and I wish to have them auto populate along with the other information from my website when the user clicks to sign I have everything transferring over except the radio buttons and checkbox values.

I have text fields opened where the value should be displayed, and I read you could have those values passed through the URL and shown in the custom fields...not sure how though.

I am also aware you can use the API, but you cannot combine API with the Powerform.

thanks in advance for the help

General documentation on populating fields through the PowerForm URL is available here: https://support.docusign.com/guides/ndse-user-guide-populate-custom-document-fields-in-a-web-powerform

Checkboxes can be preselected by setting their value to 'true'. For Radio buttons, it's GroupName=ValueName

so if I have a group of radio buttons labeled "Color" my URL might be https://demo.docusign.net/Member/PowerFormSigning.aspx?PowerFormId=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&Signer 1_UserName=Example User&Signer [email protected]&CheckBox=true&Color=Green
