Can i limit data that users can edit?
For example i do not what them to be able to edit their names after submission.
This is a re-post of a comment on How to Let Users Update Their Form Submissions at a Later Date

Unfortunately there is no condition logic yet that can make a field Read-Only to be able to locked them from edition.
There is show/hide or make fields *Required base on condition, but no lock/unlock option.
A workaround conditional statement you can use is the Populate/Update fields base on Condition.
user guide: -How-to-Populate-Field-with-a-Value-from-another-Field
But this will require creating multiple duplicate fields, 1 for the actual answers, and then 1 for the read-only field.
Example form: http://www.jotformpro.com/form/50988616180968
In the test form, when you click on I Agree it will display a different fields that are read only.. so you cannot edit them.
Let us know if this workaround can work for you.
I will also submit a feature request ticket to have the capability to lock/unlock fields base on a condition.
Thanks.

You've asked what appears to be a new or unrelated thread to the original issue even though it might be similar so I have moved it to this new separate thread.
We ask in the future you please ask new unrelated questions in a new thread.
