Hi Ugur,
The "Smart Fill" feature helps you fill out options or fields without having to type everything out. When you click "Smart Fill" button, the page parses your form page(s) and tries to determine (a) their field type (dropdown, radio buttons etc) and (b) any multiple-select options they may have; namely: radios, dropdowns and checkboxes all have multiple options. The script figures all these out and displays them.
From a coding standpoint, this is quite a complicated page and there are numerous things that could go wrong. For instance, if your webpage contains errors or is malformed, the Smart Fill option may not be able to run properly. Because of this, there are various safeguards in place so recommend courses of action. One such option is that if one or more of your form fields cannot be found, the page will provide you with the option of manually uploading copies of your form for it to be parsed directly.
Please note, the Smart Fill feature doesn't pre-fill the display texts for checkboxes or radio buttons, since it doesn't know where to find them! Dropdowns always have their labels found in the same place, so they CAN be pre-filled.
Cheers,
Joe
