You need to enable `auto-fill-parameters` first: - Coder will look for URL query parameters with form `param.<name>=<value>`.
```shell This feature enables platform teams to create pre-filled template creation links.
coder server --experiments=auto-fill-parameters
```
Or set the [environment variable](../../setup/index.md), `CODER_EXPERIMENTS=auto-fill-parameters` - Coder can populate recently used parameter key-value pairs for the user.
With the feature enabled: This feature helps reduce repetition when filling common parameters such as
`dotfiles_url` or `region`.
