How to make submissions editable even after submission

    Is there a way to append the Configurable List widgit into my current form, such as the last page, and have it send the data with my form, as well make it editible as people that submit this form will be working on it between 5-7 days ultimately (perfect world it would be earlier).

    I was able to find the "Save" feature for my form, so users can click back and update, is this something that they could update within the same form (Configurable List), if not what would be the approach to take to complete this.

    Hi Angela,

    If you want to make it editable, you can Add an Edit Link in the autoresponder email. That way, they can still edit their submission even after they have already submitted it. Here's how to do it:

    • Open your form in Form Builder, and in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
    • In the Settings menu, click on Emails and hover your mouse over the Autoresponder Email.
    • Click on the Pencil icon, and in the window that opens, click on the Form Fields dropdown menu and select Edit Link.
    • After adding the link, click on Save, and you're done.

    After submitting the form, the submitters will get an email like the one below:
