    We've been having the very same issue and reported it numerous times in the past month. It'll get better one day and then completely suck the next. They can't fix it from what I can tell but they will tell you its "resolved" when in fact, it has never been resolved.

    Can you please share with us the Direct Form link of the form that has the issue so we can test it?

    Here is how: https://www.jotform.com/help/401-where-to-find-my-form-url.

    Its happening on ALL of our forms, randomly, throughout the day. If you test it just one-time and it doesn't do it. Don't be surprised. It happens approximately 10-20% of the time.

    Here's a link to the form that the issue just happened on about 15 minutes ago:

    Yes you can. Again, it only does it about 1-2 out of 10 times. Somedays it works fine, other's its terrible. I'll alert staff that you're performing test. You may proceed at time.

    Yeah, I bet...a problem I’ve reported for a month along with 100’s of other users, happening systematically across all forms at random intervals is happening and somehow you test the form with two submissions...lol. Clearly I’m talking to lower tier support. Hilarious response Mr. Kenneth_c


    the support on this issue via jot form has been terrible and full of #fakeupdates

    Greetings,

    We apologize for the inconvenience.

    We have already escalated the issue to our developers, and we marked the priority as Important on this thread below:

    https://www.jotform.com/answers/2915506

    Our developers are already assigned to that issue and working on it.

    As soon as we have any news in this regard, we'll let you know here.

    Meanwhile, you can download those submission PDF documents from JotForm Tables:

    Thanks for your patience and understanding!

    Yes, we know how to download and attempt to resubmit. You've literally instructed us to do this about 50 times now...and we do. We've been doing that for over a month, its twice, sometimes 3 times the work. We have to wait hours for it to render and 'work'. Some of us businesses in the world have rearranged our entire business work-flows to rely on JotForm. Then, all of the sudden it doesn't work as advertised. Is anyone getting discounts on their JotForm fees?...I suspect not. Just the same copy/paste response answers on the "support forum". We aren't getting results. You aren't even brave enough to give us a phone number to call. I do not have patience and understanding....I had that somewhere around the first week of reporting the trouble. At this point I'm praying for a miracle.

    Hi there,

    Apologies for the unsatisfactory responses, our developers are aware of this issue, investigated it, and have fixed it.

    Can you confirm it on your end? If the issue still persists, we will have our developers work on it as soon as possible.

    Best.

    Funny, it just happened again. We're tracking patterns and it gets worse in the afternoons. here's a blank form that just came in: 1616790460 605e43bc25803 Julio Rodriguez Screenshot 10

    Can you have someone with the "backend team" call me or reply to the thread? 713.672.9345. I'm sure some good ol' human interaction can work it out.
