Hello.
If you've added a custom form via the Form Manager, you can do this by adding a hidden input field to your form, then filling it with JavaScript when the page loads.

Hi Basara,

where should we put the javacript?

Hello.
Put the JavaScript in an HTML block and assign that block to the page layout where the form is shown.

There are other ways to add JavaScript too, such as directly in the template files, but using an HTML block is usually the easier method for this kind of task.

If the form is embedded directly on the product page, you can usually capture the current product URL or product ID when the form is submitted rather than asking the user to enter it.

For example, on the client side, `window.location.href` will give you the current page URL. If you need the product name, it would be better to pass the product ID/name from the product page into a hidden form field and submit it along with the other form data.

In AbanteCart, I'd recommend using the product ID as the reliable value and looking up the product name afterward. URLs and product names can change, while the product ID should remain stable. If you're handling the submission in a controller, you can then use that ID to retrieve the corresponding product information.
