    2. There should be an option for user input in case of troubles scanning a code.

    I am forwarding the thread to our backend team as a feature request for evaluation. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any ETA at this moment. However, if there is any news you'll be updated here on this thread.

    Ok,  that's great. I have found a workaround. Additional text field can help to do the job! 

    I added it just below QR code scanner, then added a condition IF {QR CODE} CONTAINS "something" COPY FIELD {QR CODE} TO {QR TEXT}.

    I also added field mask to make sure my QR scanned contains what it should and it works almost perfect.

    The only problem I encounter is sometimes after a form loads on iOS it doens't work at all. It opens few times Safari browser (somehow inside JotForm app) and shows nothing but Scan Barcode. 

    Address on top is widget.jotform.io. 

    Any ideas?
