Change my submitted form

[jakobroehrl]

After submitting my form the user can't change it.
It would be nice if this would be possible.
Send the user a mail with a special link for edit

I don't think that this makes sense... You can never know what the creator of the form does with the submitted records. If they are processed nearly immediately, the changes won't have any effect.

So I think that it would be better to make it possible to kind of store a prefilled form and come back to it before sending it. This should be able to achieve with #322. So I'd propose to close this issue as a duplicate.

@jotoeri agree?

That issue is a different thing, as it is for editing the form itself, not for submitting to the form. 😉

Hmm, i think here i'm with this argumentation. @jancborchardt @skjnldsv ?

I had a look at Google Forms, there you can create a link to a prefilled form to complete it later or send it to someone else...

We'd also like to have the option to allow participants to update their responses later.

Cryptpad has exactly this feature -

This feature has my support. However, my use case is slightly different. I want users to be able to send in declaration forms. If they make a mistake, they should be able to change it. But of course, after the form has been handled, the form should be unchangeable. So, the owner must be able to mark a filled in form as "handled", or "immutable".

Is there any reason that isn’t remedied by simply defaulting to disabling response editing, and only allowing it if the user selects it as an option?

@mik593 Yes, this would definitely be the way to go here.

If nobody is working on this, I would start working on this next week.
