Færdigfyldt

Færdigfyldt is a Danish adjective meaning pre-filled or already filled. It is used to describe forms, fields, or data that have been entered in advance, typically by an automated process or by the form designer rather than by a user. The term is common in contexts such as digital forms, software interfaces, and documentation where some information is pre-populated to save time or reduce error. It can refer to both forms and individual fields.

Etymology and usage notes: the word is a compound of færdig (finished) and fyldt (filled). It conveys that the filling step has been completed prior to the current interaction. In Danish, more everyday language often uses forudfyldt (pre-populated) or udfyldt (filled out); færdigfyldt is more typical in technical, official, or formal contexts, such as documentation, user manuals, or system-generated content. It is generally used attributively, for example with a noun like skema, formular, or felt.

Examples and nuance: a færdigfyldt ansøgningsskema refers to an application form that already contains data. "Felterne er færdigfyldt" describes fields that have been pre-populated. The term implies automation or predefined data rather than manual entry by the user, and it is often contrasted with forms that must be completed by the user (udfyldt) or left as defaults (forudfyldt).
