How to Let Users Update Their Form Submissions at a Later Date

I am having the same issue as Jess_Lane below.

If I add the {edit_link} tag in the autoresponder, the user clicks on the link and they are prompted for a login/password, but the users filling out the forms do not have a JotForm account and we do not want them to have one. We just want them to be able to edit the submissions they made or continue it later.

How can we accomplish this?

How about if I wish to also cancel my appointment not just change it. Having to select all the fields of the appointment form is difficult and some clients may not bother to do it. Can a appointment be simply cancelled by one click only? Thank you.

after users update their form submissions, will the answers that have been updated will be marked in some way so I can know what changed and what didn't?

Hey guys - my edit link is not showing up in my emails - I even have "hide empty fields" disabled, but it's just not providing me a link at all. Tips?

Hi, When I click on 'Form Fields' then click 'Edit Link' it places a 'Edit Link' in the Email Subject.
Regardless of where I have the curser I can not get the {Edit Link} to appear anywhere except the Email Subject link.

hello, i set up this after several submissions received and i need to send edit button to all, how can i perform this?

Hi!

I enabled the edit link in the auto responder email so that users can edit the date/time of their appointment.

But the link shows as hidden on the email. How do you fix this? We have HIPPA enabled.

Is this option available on the free plan?

Is this option available on the free plan?

The submission IDs are sequential and seem easy to guess / find by trial and error, so this mechanism seems to be very unsecure. The link should include a secure token, so an edit link cannot be generated simply with the ID.

If you allowed this, what happens if they edit a form like 6 months later? Does it submit like it's a new submission with updated geolocation stamp and submitted dates (and all the autoresponder and notification emails go again) and you will still retain the previous data and form that was submitted or does it just overwrite the previous information and no notifications go out that it was changed?

I've followed the instructions and it's not sending an edit link with any emails as test or to a friend. Please help.

Please assist. I've set this up, but customer is not getting autoresponder email.

I have set up my form so that the person who has submitted the form receives an autoresponse with the edit link option so they can go back and edit their submission if they would like.

When the email is received and the edit link is clicked it is asking the person who submitted the form to login to jotform. The people submitting the form will not have jotform accounts.

They are accessing these forms on our website.

Is there anyway to allow them to edit their form submission without having to create an account?

Is there a way for my clients to edit their submitted order. I do not want to use the autoresponder email. I want to copy and paste and send my own email.

Thank you,

Hi - I have enabled the "edit link", and I am able to go back in and edit my form, but it does not update the information on the integrated Google Sheet. Should this be updated? Am I missing something?

Why this is not working? I added {edit_link} but when I tried to submit and completed the form for testing purposes, it says on the email: Hidden to protect your privacy.

So how can i be able to edit my responses if the edit link is hidden?

dear team

thank you for your advise, however can i add a user name and password so the one who submitted their profiles they can log in and edit their entry

It would be great to know the answer to this customer's question:

"Hi there,

What if they just want to cancel the reservation? When they click edit submission it just opens up the booking they made, I actually want a button on the booking form that says cancel reservation and it pulls up their reservations and they can just cancel. HAve a look at this in working on this website:

https://www.silka.co.uk/reservation"

Thanks!

I didn't have this set up when the form went out and now users want to update what they already submitted - please help! How can I give them access to what they submitted?

If a client amends an existing form then resubmits it will that be recounted again & included in my 100 monthly submitions limit?

Thank you

I'm still really confused..... I recently added a new field to my registration form and I now need to have users update their already submitted forms without creating duplicates. How do I do this?

I must admit this is very confusing to me. What I want to do is create an event registration form that the attender can "cancel" after they have registered. We have 2 events at different times and the person registers to attend the 9 a.m. event but decides they can't make it and want to cancel. How do I set that up within Jotform?

Is there any way to remove a form user's access from the edit link once it has been sent? For example, I only want to allow a form user to edit the form once by following the edit link and submitting their edits but not be able to make any additional edits after that first submission. Please let me know if this is possible, thank you!

Why don't I see "Edit Link" in my Form Fields drop down?

Hello, we enabled this and while testing the continue later button we receive a pop-up reading: Your form submission has been saved as a draft. We’ve sent you an email with a link to complete your submission.

However, this email is then sent to our business email, not the client email to remind them to complete the form later. Where can we edit where the form is sent when it is saved for later?

Thank you!

thank you

I also am trying to create a form wherein one of my colleagues can partially fill out the form and then update the form at a later time. I think I have created the correct SUBJECT field, and it seems that I have entered the individual who is filling out form's address. But, when using myself at the form-filler, I don't receive what I assume would be a link to update the form. Suggestions please?

Thank you.

I did a text and fill-out the form I didn't Receive an auto response to the email I Register with.

Not really clear you guys don't have a video? I will also try it

Hi,

is there a possibility to receive notifications when the user edits his form but at the same time not to receive them when we edit the same forms ourselves?

Regards

Thank you!

I have added the edit link to my form. Can I resend an email to the people who previously filled out the form and include a link to edit? If yes, how would I do that?

Hello,

If I click to edit my form, the preview submission that I sent, will change?

Or there gonna be two different answers.. like two submissions?

Thanks!

Hi...

Hi
Our form is setup to take weekly payments via stripe. If I send out this link to edit forms will it update the payments on stripe or will we need to do this manually?

After a form (travel expense request) is submitted, I have it forwarded to an approving manager. I would like all the fields to be read-only except the one question that allows the yes no approval from the manager.

So basically in editing-after-submission can certain fields be read only?

Our employees are getting "permission denied" messages when they go to click the edit link button. My autoresponder settings are correct. Settings to allow users to submit, view and edit the forms they fill out are correct. They are receiving the forms they submit to their email but when they click edit they are denied permission. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Is it possible to block one or more of the entries (data fields) so the user can't edit them?
Previous orders for example.

Thanks in advance.
Jean.

Is there a way a customer can edit their submission prior to me adding the edit link? I have added the link into my automatic emails moving forward, but two clients had already submitted their forms and are now needing to edit their forms.

Will users be able to edit payment information?

We have had several instances where registrants signed up but want to edit their submission later and pay online. It does not allow us to add in payment information. Is this normal?

Is there a way to track the changes between the original submission and subsequent submissions? Maybe where fields that changed are highlighted on the subsequent submissions?

Hi

Is it possible to send auto responder e-mails with "send on edit" only when the user edits their submission as apposed to an admin logged in editing the users data and seeing all hidden fields..
Cheers

Hi,
Is it possible to block one or more of the entries (after being send for the first time) so the user can't edit them?
