I read this documentation: [Managing Forms](https://mautic.org/docs/en/forms/manage_forms.html) - Section “Pre-populate a form field value”

- I set up a landing page in mautic and embedded a form into it.  
- I added {pagelink=NUMBER}&email={leadfield=email|true} to the mail with the editor  
- I made sure, the field is correctly named  
- Link will only be build partly as expected: [https://MAUTICSERVER/r/HASHCODEFORLANDINGPAGE?ct=VERYLONGHASH](https://MAUTICSERVER/r/HASHCODEFORLANDINGPAGE?ct=VERYLONGHASH) -\> **part “&email=EMAIL” is missing**  
- Landing page will be opened, but form is not filled  
  
  
  
Is there anything I missed?

Strange, today I get links encoded the following way:  
[https://MAUTICSERVER/LANDINGPAGE?&email=EMAIL](https://MAUTICSERVER/LANDINGPAGE?&email=EMAIL) - now part “ct=VERYLONGHASH” is missing ☹
