Its all about relation field
when we click on relation field "add/remove" button, it goes to another app to add information during that time, can we add previous app value in new item ...
Example: I have two apps 1.website 2. pages
...In first app.. i have one field website name (text field) and second field page (relationship field)..
when i click on 'add/remove" button' in relation field then its open pages app to create new page ..here we have one field website name (relation field) .. i want its value auto field
with website name from website app.

Create a Calculation field as the first field in your app. Call it Website Title and make the formula be something like:
@website Name + " - " + @website app
IF occasionally one or the others of those are blank you can get more creative like:
var wn = @website Name != "" ? @website Name : "" ;
var wa = @website app != "" ? " - " +@website app : "" ;
wn + wa
Note sometimes you need to != null vs != "" depending on the field type.
Also if you are dealing with fields from other apps you might need to use @all of {name of field in other app}[0]

It is not possible to pre-populate any fields when creating a new item in podio via the create item button on a relationship field.
In a way, you do know where the item came from as the reverse relationship is left behind after you create the item.
You can leverage that reverse relationship to after the fact populate that relationship field via a flow as I demonstrate in this video:
