When user Edits submission, I would like it to keep both the new submission as well as the older version.

    For my purposes, users may want to fill out the form and submit... but then go back and just change a few items on the form. 

    Is there a way to have jot form save the old version AND create a new version of the submission.   (And this would create a new row in the integrated Google Sheet as well as the FieldBook Zap I have created) 

    IE - I am trying to save users from having to completely retype a new submission when some fields/answers are the same or almost the same. 


    Thank you for your assistance!

    When submission edits are made the previous submission is overwritten, there is not currently a way to make this create a new submission instead.

    There is a workaround described in the following thread that would allow for creating a link to the form with the users data pre-filled:

    But there is not currently a way to do so using submission edits.
