captcha in form

[tylerdurden4285]

Forms have a lot of elements, however to help combat spam it would be good to have an option for captcha. Forms can then safely be used publicly unlike currently.

Is that what you what 😀

Thanks for reply. I was thinking more along the lines of captcha like recaptcha for example.

I see, you want to prevent spam submissions like bots. But I'm not sure if this is a just-needed scenario, and unless the form submission information is very sensitive, the risk should be limited.
Maybe a possible alternative is to require users to log in before submitting.

Thanks for your reply. Yes bots, i was unclear on that - my bad. The password will help somewhat for basic bots but ones that just enter the static password will easily bypass this because they are randomized. Captcha is a standard option these days for most public facing forms and resolve a massive problem of bots spamming the database rows.

I also don't see a need for captcha in form it will slow the data entry flow , since there is a password and the spammers shouldn't be aware of it the password is more than enough

[tylerdurden4285]

It's common practice for forms and optional like the other fields at the creators discretion, its not mandatory.

If you have a public form with a password to complete the form then you need to publicly announce said password. This is a risk as bots can easily spam the heck out of your database. A simple captcha option in the existing field options is a solution to this.

Edit: The captcha is optional like any other form field element. Like most other form providers have.

Hey, just checking in on this to see if it is in the roadmap at all?

Due to the lack of significant necessity, we have not included it in our roadmap.
