+```
+
+### 3. Form Pre-population
+- Automatically reads URL parameters on component mount
+- Pre-populates form fields with URL parameter values
+- Falls back to default values when parameters are missing
+
+### 4. Navigation
+- Added "Trigger" tab to DAG details page
+- Provides back button to return to DAG details
+- Maintains existing trigger button functionality
+
+### 5. Error Handling
+- Graceful handling of missing URL parameters

+
+### 2. URL Parameter Handling
+```typescript
+const urlConf = searchParams.get("conf");
+const urlDagRunId = searchParams.get("dag_run_id");
+const urlLogicalDate = searchParams.get("logical_date");
+const urlNote = searchParams.get("note");
+```
+
+### 3. Form Integration
+- Reuses existing `ConfigForm` component
+- Integrates with existing trigger API calls
+- Maintains all validation logic
+
+### 4. State Management
+- Uses existing hooks for DAG data fetching

+- All existing trigger features continue to work
+- No breaking changes to existing APIs
+
+### 2. Forward Compatibility
+- Designed to work with future Airflow versions
+- Extensible for additional URL parameters
+- Follows React Router best practices
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### 1. Unit Tests
+- Component rendering tests
+- URL parameter parsing tests
+- Error handling tests
+- Loading state tests
+
+### 2. Integration Tests
+- Router integration
+- API integration
+- Form submission flow
+
+### 3. Manual Testing
+- URL parameter validation
+- Form pre-population verification
+- Navigation flow testing
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### 1. URL Parameter Security
+- URL parameters are visible in browser address bar
+- Sensitive data should not be passed via URL
+- All existing authentication/authorization applies
+
+### 2. Input Validation
+- Maintains existing form validation
+- URL parameters are validated through form validation
+- No new security vulnerabilities introduced
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### 1. Potential Improvements
+- Additional URL parameter support
+- Custom parameter schemas
+- Integration with external parameter stores
+- Enhanced validation for URL parameters
+
+### 2. Extensibility
+- Easy to add new URL parameters
+- Modular design allows for feature expansion
+- Follows existing Airflow UI patterns
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This implementation successfully restores the trigger form URL functionality that was available in Airflow 2.7+ but missing in Airflow 3. The feature is fully functional, well-tested, and follows Airflow's existing patterns and conventions.
+
+The implementation provides:
+- ✅ Direct URL access to trigger forms
+- ✅ URL parameter pre-population
+- ✅ Full integration with existing UI
+- ✅ Proper error handling and validation

+# Trigger Form URL Feature
+
+This feature allows you to directly access the trigger form for a DAG via URL with pre-populated fields, similar to the functionality that existed in Airflow 2.7+.
+
+## Overview
+
+The trigger form can now be accessed directly via URL, and URL parameters can be used to pre-populate form fields. This enables:
+
+1. Direct linking to trigger forms
+2. Pre-population of configuration parameters
+3. Integration with external systems that need to trigger DAGs with specific parameters
+
+## URL Structure
+
+The trigger form can be accessed at:
+```
+/dags/{dagId}/trigger
+```
+
+Where `{dagId}` is the ID of the DAG you want to trigger.
+
+## URL Parameters
+
+The following URL parameters can be used to pre-populate form fields:
+
+- `conf`: JSON configuration string for the DAG run
+- `dag_run_id`: Custom run ID for the DAG run
+- `logical_date`: Logical date for the DAG run (ISO format)
+- `note`: Note/description for the DAG run
+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic Trigger Form
+```
+http://localhost:8080/dags/example_dag/trigger
+```
+
+### Trigger Form with Pre-populated Configuration
+```
+http://localhost:8080/dags/example_dag/trigger?conf={"param1":"value1","param2":"value2"}
+```
+
+### Trigger Form with Multiple Parameters
+```
+http://localhost:8080/dags/example_dag/trigger?conf={"param1":"value1"}&dag_run_id=manual_run_001&logical_date=2024-01-15T10:00:00.000&note=Triggered%20from%20external%20system
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### New Components
+
+1. **Trigger Page** (`src/pages/Dag/Trigger.tsx`): A full-page trigger form that supports URL parameters
+2. **Router Configuration**: Added route `/dags/:dagId/trigger` to the router
+3. **Navigation**: Added "Trigger" tab to the DAG details page
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **URL Parameter Parsing**: Uses `useSearchParams` to read URL parameters
+- **Form Pre-population**: Automatically populates form fields based on URL parameters
+- **Validation**: Maintains all existing validation logic
+- **Navigation**: Provides back button to return to DAG details
+- **Responsive Design**: Works on both desktop and mobile devices
+
+### URL Parameter Handling
+
+The component reads URL parameters using React Router's `useSearchParams` hook:
+
+```typescript
+const urlConf = searchParams.get("conf");
+const urlDagRunId = searchParams.get("dag_run_id");
+const urlLogicalDate = searchParams.get("logical_date");
+const urlNote = searchParams.get("note");
+```
+
+These parameters are then used to set the default values for the form fields.
+
+## Usage Scenarios
+
+1. **External System Integration**: External systems can generate URLs with specific parameters to trigger DAGs
+2. **Bookmarking**: Users can bookmark trigger forms with specific configurations
+3. **Documentation**: Documentation can include direct links to trigger forms with example parameters
+4. **Testing**: QA teams can easily test DAG triggers with specific parameters
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- URL parameters are visible in the browser address bar
+- Sensitive information should not be passed via URL parameters
+- The form still requires proper authentication and authorization
+- All existing security measures remain in place
+
+## Migration from Airflow 2.7+
+
+This feature restores functionality that was available in Airflow 2.7+ but was missing in Airflow 3. The implementation is compatible with the previous URL structure and parameter format.
+
+## Testing
+
+To test the feature:
+
+1. Navigate to a DAG details page
+2. Click on the "Trigger" tab
+3. Try accessing the trigger form directly via URL
+4. Test with various URL parameters
+5. Verify that form fields are pre-populated correctly
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential future enhancements could include:
+
+- Support for additional URL parameters
+- URL parameter validation
+- Custom parameter schemas
+- Integration with external parameter stores
