Auto-Fill uses AI to recommend and populate workitem field values automatically, based on the information you enter in the <strong>name<\/strong> and <strong>description<\/strong> fields. This helps you create workitems faster with less manual data entry. Auto-Fill (earlier called Smart-Fill) now works out of the box \u2014 there is no separate configuration to set up.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"Prerequisite\"><\/a>Prerequisite<\/h2>\n<p>Auto-Fill is available to users who have an <strong>AI Agent license<\/strong>. If you do not have access to this feature, contact your administrator.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"UseAutoFill\"><\/a>Use Auto-Fill While Adding a Workitem<\/h2>\n<p>When you add a new workitem, AI can auto-populate the editable fields based on what you enter. To use Auto-Fill:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Add a new workitem and enter a clear <strong>Name<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Enter adequate detail in the <strong>Description<\/strong> field. The more relevant information you provide, the better the recommendations.<\/li>\n<li>Click the <strong>AI Agent<\/strong> button at the top of the form and select <strong>AI Auto-Fill<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>AI analyzes the name and description and auto-populates the editable fields (such as drop-downs, dates, and numeric fields), highlighting the updated values.<\/li>\n<li>Review the recommended values and adjust any of them before saving the workitem.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/digitecdn.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/images\/Autofill_9.20.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; border: 1px solid #ddd;\" src=\"https:\/\/digitecdn.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/images\/Autofill_9.20.gif\" alt=\"AI auto-filling workitem fields while adding a new workitem\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Auto-Fill_3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; border: 1px solid #ddd;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nimblework.com\/knowledge-base\/nimble\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Auto-Fill_3.png\" alt=\"Workitem fields auto-populated and highlighted by AI Auto-Fill\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"HowItWorks\"><\/a>How It Works<\/h2>\n<p>Auto-Fill bases its recommendations on the information in the name and description fields and on your historical workitems.
