How might I create a JS customization to auto-populate data into fields?

I have multiple forms that are the same, but we want some fields to be pre-populated with set values specified in the first form.

Thanks @Genji

I went through the [Auto-populate Table Rows](https://kintone.dev/en/tutorials/autofill-data/auto-populate-table-rows/) tutorial and was able to reproduce the populated fields as in the example.

## Current Situation

I have a "Records" table and a "Sub-Records" table in my Kintone App.

**"Sub-Record" table**

- The "Sub-Records" table is a subset of the "Records" table.
- Each "Sub-Record" table's row has a reference ID that links it back to the "Records" table's own row.

## Desired Outcome

After I create the first Sub-Record for a Record, I do not want to repeat some fields in subsequent Sub-Records. I want to fetch some values from the previous Sub-Record and pre-populate those fields.
