I had the same question. Walter beat me to it.

Hey Walter, thanks for the quick response. I would say it's the first one, pulling the metadata. I want to ensure someone is not just using an old image when they submit the form as we are using a web form for a daily pool inspection procedure.

WordPress has a function for extracting image metadata: https://havecamerawilltravel.com/wordpress-display-exif-metadata-media-library/

So this is something I would have to modify via WordPress and I could tie it into the data that is submitted via the form? If all of my entries are going into a spreadsheet, I'd like to have the time/date metadata go into a column on that spreadsheet. Same thing for the emailed entries to have the time/date data on that email and the attached PDF form submission.

All of that would be possible somehow?

Yes, it’s all possible. You can probably extract the exif details and store them in hidden fields while validating the photo entry. I imagine you might even validate the file uploads in the process by checking the file before being written to the server. No or edited exif data = rejected entry. It may be possible, but I can’t know for certain with exploring the code. Once the data is stored in Formidable, you can download as a csv file or even upload it to Google sheets when the entry is submitted. Formidable will do anything you want if you don’t mind writing some custom code.
