So I have a custom record with an external custom form. Can I open the form populated from an existing custom record? If so, what's the simplest way?

i dont think client script is an option due to permission issues (unless you plan on creating an external suitelet to bypass)

nor do i think user events trigger for online forms before load

your easiest option might be passing parameters through urls
