Is it possible to pass a parameter through a URL to an input field on a Visualforce page? It would be like pre populating a field, but in this case it would be hidden.

    Yes you can with the help of a controller. It acts as other input fields but not visible. developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/… – highfive Apr 27 '16 at 3:51
  • are you trying to avoid initializing fields via a controller and trying to do this with URL hacking? -- and, if you have a controller, with access to the value from apexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('fooParm') - why do you need the hidden field at all? – cropredy Apr 27 '16 at 4:39

you can input your parameter via URL like ap2.salesforce.com/vfPages?id=01Z90000000EkUk for example

and you can add this Id testId = ApexPages.CurrentPage().getparameters().get('id') to get the parameter from url then you can put the testId to hidden input field that you want
