How to autofill forms without social implementation

Is there a way to autofill a marketo form based on product information? We have a product page (for example) that has an order sample button that we wish to lead to an auto-filled marketo form. Is this possible?

Sure, pass the data in the URL and then render it into a form on a target page.

In the source page, the button links to example.com/page-with-form.html?formField1=<value1>&formField2=<value2>

In the target page, the form can have hidden fields set to pull from query parameters (this feature is built into Form Editor 2.0).  Or if you want visible fields, you can pull them from the URL and then

MktoForms2.whenReady(function(form){

  form.setValues{{ formField1 : <value1>, formField2 : <value2> });

});

What exactly do you mean "an external source"?  You referred to a product page linking to a form on another page.  If the product page "knows" the data you wish to push to the form, then you add it to the URL as I showed.
