Is it possible to enable some fields in the input table only when editing a submission?

    Good day! I'd like to inquire how i'll be able to create a form where the user first fills out the quantity requested (quantity received and date received is initially disabled) and then later on after the initial submission be able to update the quantity received and date received but unable to edit the quantity requested?


    Thank you in advance!

    It's not possible to do this with the input table that you're using, you will need to use basic fields as they can be conditionally disabled. With basic fields I mean, short text entry or date fields. 

    You may display the fields inline as well, this guide will help you doing so: https://www.jotform.com/help/90-Form-Field-Positioning 

    Once you have added the fields, you may set up conditions based on the Get Form Page URL widget, if the widget contains "edit" which means that the users are editing the submission, then you will enable the desired fields, otherwise they will remain disabled. 

    The widget can be found here: https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/get_form_page_url 

    This guide will help you adding it to your form: https://www.jotform.com/help/252-How-to-Add-a-Widget-to-Your-Form 

    And this guide will help you enabling/disabling the fields based on conditions: https://www.jotform.com/help/371-How-to-Enable-Disable-Fields-Using-Conditional-Logic 

    I hope this helps.
