But I can't edit the submission because it's unpublished.

But I can't edit the submission because it's unpublished - that's what I'm trying to work around. thanks

I assume you mean the form is disabled? If this is the case, you can't edit submission.

The form has to be enabled because editing a submission requires resubmitting the form.

My suggestion would be to temporarily enable the form, create a condition that hides the submit button so users can't submit the enabled form, then when you edit the submission, trigger the condition to reveal the submit button.

Here's how:

1. Add a hidden box widget to your form

2. Create a condition that if the hidden box is filled, show the submit button

3. So when you are on edit mode, fill the hidden box to reveal the submit button then you can resubmit the form.

Got it.  Thank you!
