Ever wanted to lock some form fields so they can’t be edited?
Maybe you were creating a quiz and wanted to ensure people couldn’t change answers later. Or perhaps you were making a job application with different sections for applicants and internal staff to complete.
There are many reasons you’d want to make fields read-only. And now you can.
- Set fields to be read-only when an entry’s status is Complete. (This locks the field for editing).
- Prefill customer names or ID numbers, then prevent them from being accidentally changed.
- Create time-sensitive forms that lock sections once the entry window has expired.
- Send users forms to edit, while limiting which parts can be changed.
There are countless applications. It’s up to you to choose what you’d like to be editable and when.
