Edit Link: Disable edit link after submission approval

Im using approval workflow, and I'd like the ability to lock a submission after workflow approval. The submitter has an edit link and may have resubmitted previously. I need them to have that edit link, but I want to stop any edits after workflow approval. Is this possible?

Hello!

Unfortunately, there is no way to do that automatically - I will be raising this as a feature request.

The only way to do this is to use the Get Form Page URL widget along with conditions to disable the submit button when a submission with a given ID is edited - this will require adding the submission IDs to the condition every time a condition is approved.

Obviously, this is not a feasible option for a very large number of submissions.

Here's how to do this:

• Add the Get Form Page URL widget to your form
  
  
• Add a Paragraph field to notify your user that the form cannot be edited anymore
  
  
• Navigate to Settings, Conditions and add a new Show/Hide Fields condition
  
  
  
  
• Set it up like in the picture (you can keep multiple IDs in one condition - just separate them with a comma and space
