Not sure when this slipped in as we haven’t updated from 7.12.2, and we upgraded to that in early July when it was released.

## Expected behavior

Prefilled data (if it exists) should pre-populate into existing fields and some fields should be true by default.

## Actual behavior

 ![CleanShot 2021-08-11 at 08.22.01](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/2X/3/38c56a5980c0dc7ecafa01d8f48f2534fa457449.png)  
Data is not getting populated, and there is now a 404 from the post route in the console. The odd thing is that I can console and see all the values in the load hook from the `record`, and can confirm that it has all the data necessary to prefill the fields.

What is the current behavior?

Hey @David_Panzarella,

Indeed, it does not seems normal.  
Just to be sure, you are using a load hook from a smart action to set theses values?

I’ve just re-set a `forest-express-sequelize@7.12.2` project on my end and I’m currently not able to reproduce your issue.

If possible, could you share the definition of both the smart action & the load hook you are using, the logs you are seeing in the browser as well as the `/load` request & response? (Here or as a DM if you consider this data to be sensitive)

Thanks in advance 🙏

(As a side node, we recently release a `forest-express-sequelize@8.x.x`, which include a new hook system as well as dynamic smart action forms. If you are interested, [here is the upgrade note](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/how-tos/maintain/upgrade-notes-sql-mongodb/upgrade-to-v8))
