Disable Field: How can I disable field in edit mode?

I want to lock the "employee name" field once the field has been submitted for that "Year"

The goal is to only have one submission per name per year and to only be able to edit changes to that submission, not change the name.

Right now, the employee name can be changed in the edit mode by another person, so I lose that history.

Sidenote: I have position disabled but it shows back up in edit mode.

I think I found a work around by add a new name field and by coping and hiding the employee name field once they start adding the email.

I deleted the position field.

Any feedback that may make this work better is still helpful.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting support.

I am glad that you've found a workaround to your need.

Allow me some time to look for other options. Where we can disable the name field if the form url has "edit" on it.

Thank you. Regards.

Hi,

Other option would be

#1 Add "Get Form Page URL" widget in the form where users submitted their data and hide the field.

#2 Add condition in form to check if the widget contain text "edit" and then disabled the Employee name field. Please check the screenshot below:

Now, when your users will edit the submission by clicking "Edit Submission", they will not be able to edit the Employee name field.

Hope this helps. Please try it out and get back to us if you have any questions.

Wow! Simple when you know how. Most helpful.

Thanks

I've added this just as shown, but it does not disable the fields.

You have added the condition correctly. It should disable the fields in edit mode. Please note that the disabled field means that the user will not be able to edit the field, but he can still view it. It will not hide the field.

Please share the form link so we can further investigate the issue on our end.

But I can still view and edit the both fields, it's not working

Hi,

Could you please confirm that this is the page url https://form.jotform.com/210205994815053?

Please allow me some time to do some tests.

Thank you. Regards.

Hi,

Thank you for your patience.

Could you please try placing the Get Page URL conditional logic in the last position.

Set the conditional logic for Get Page URL so that it disabled the 5. Name and 3. Year fields

Please give it a try, and let us know how it goes.

Perfect! Thanks
