Fill form does nothing on the page
The four reasons the button finds no target, in the order worth checking.
What you see
The panel shows the fields, Fill form is pressed, and nothing changes on the page.
Why it happens, and what fixes it
The accounting tab lost focus
Click once inside the expense form, then press Fill form again. The panel writes into the tab that was active last.
The form sits inside an iframe the extension may not touch
Open the expense form in its own tab rather than in a modal window inside another page.
The account is on the free plan
Autofill belongs to Pro. On the free plan each field has a copy button next to it.
The page is not a supported form
The panel matches field labels. On a form it does not recognise it says so instead of guessing, and the copy buttons still work.
Quick checks
- The extension is pinned and the panel is open
- The accounting tab is the active tab
- The document shows a vendor and a total
