How to Edit a Default Value Field of Submissions?

Hallo:)

besteht die Möglichkeit bei einem eingereichten Formular im Posteingang, bei einem Feld, welches mit einem Standartwert hinterlegt ist, den Standartwert zu ändern?

Ich brauche ein Feld für meine Berechnung, das ich nach der Einreichung des Formulars, mit einer neuen Zahl ändern kann?

Liebe Grüße

Patrick

PS: Im Anhang finden Sie in meinem Formular mit dem Namen ?

Dieses Feld muss bei der Einreichung Sichtbar sein und ich muss es ändern können.

Liebe Grüße

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, our German Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in German, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

Now, let me help you with your question. I cloned your form and I am not able to edit the submission of the default field because it is under the Section Collapse form element. Since it is set as hidden, when we try to edit it in Inbox or Tables, we won't be able to do it.

As a workaround, you can instead remove the Section Collapse form element and set the field under it as hidden so only you can see those fields. After that, you will then be able to see and change those fields in the Inbox. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, select all the fields you want to hide by holding the CTRL key and clicking the fields. On the upper right side of the page, click on Hide.

2. In Inbox, click on the 3 dots on the right side of the page and select Edit.

3. Edit the value of the default fields and click on Submit.

4. As you can see in the screencast below, the new value is now saved.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for getting back to us. Sure, you can modify the Autoresponder email and delete the fields you don't want your customers to see. Let me show you how:

1. Open your form in Form Builder, and in the orange navigation bar at the top of the screen, click on Settings.
2. In the menu that opens on the left side of the page, click on Emails.
3. Hover your mouse over the Autoresponder Banner and click on the Pencil icon to edit it.
   
   
4. In the Email Editor, select the fields you want to delete and click on the Delete row icon.
5. Click on Save and you're done.
   
   

We also have a guide about How to Edit the Email Template for Notifications and Autoresponders that you can check out.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
