Online Customer Form URL parameter changes field into inline text
When I set the value of a custom entity field through a URL parameter on a Custom Online Form, the field changes into inline text and cannot be changed anymore. I intended to use the URL parameter for pre-selection of the field, but still allow the user to change the value (it's a dropdown menu).
Is there a way to change this behavior? I don't want the dropdown menu to change into inline text but just be set to the value I passed in the URL.
I have tried passing parameters with cookies, but I couldn't get that to work in some cases (people on Mac, with different browsers).
