Allow form to be available for a specific time range each day

    Asked on July 20, 2018 at 4:02 PM

    I would like to Show/Hide fields based on the time of the day. Specifically, from 12:00 am to 8:59 am, I want a text field to show and explain that the form is only available between 9:00 am and 12:00 am. Then at 9:00 am, I want to hide that field and show the rest of the form fields including the submit. Then at 12:00 am, the form reverts back to the text box only and removes all of the other fields and submit.

    I found a question from 2014 that said that is was not possible in Jotform and I would like to know if there have been any updates.

    You can disable your form based on date.

    Just go to your Settings>Form settings>Form status>disable on date.

    That will only allow me to disable at a specific time.

    I want to be able to automatically turn off every day at midnight and turn back on a 9:00 am.

    You can use conditions to hide the fields and use the time field element.

    Do note that the time fields current time is form the user's computer/laptop or device time.


    Add the time element

    and use current time in the default time.
