    Hi

    May I know how to get global time instead of user’s system time? So that can prevent user changes his/her own phone time to do the cheating. Thank you.

    We will be glad to help you with your concern. However, in order for us to do so, may we know what exactly is your goal here, please?

    Do you need the form disabled or a field hidden after a specific date and time?

    We will wait for your response.

    my form uses time to control some fields show or hide, however some users changed their devices’ system time so that they can open some fields earlier than others. I tried all elements but none of them can point to a global clock. Pls advise.

    I would like to apologize for any delays. I have been trying to find a solution to your concern and I have been testing but, I'm afraid that I didn't find any workaround within the form builder that that would really help you with what you are trying to achieve.

    I have, however, forwarded your concern to our developers as a feature request. Although we cannot guarantee that it will be implemented anytime soon, please be assured that once the feature becomes available we will notify you right away on this ticket.
