When the template doesn't specify default values, Coder may still autofill
parameters.
parameters in one of two ways:

You need to enable `auto-fill-parameters` first:
- Coder will look for URL query parameters with form `param.<name>=<value>`.

```shell
coder server --experiments=auto-fill-parameters
```
This feature enables platform teams to create pre-filled template creation links.

- Coder can populate recently used parameter key-value pairs for the user.
This feature helps reduce repetition when filling common parameters such as
`dotfiles_url` or `region`.

To enable this feature, you need to set the `auto-fill-parameters` experiment flag:

Or set the [environment variable](../../setup/index.md), `CODER_EXPERIMENTS=auto-fill-parameters`
With the feature enabled:
```shell
coder server --experiments=auto-fill-parameters
```
