But i dont see how that makes it possible for me to let them select entries from a list, to them send that selection with a new form?

I don't understand why your design uses a second form. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand the need for a second form.

I cant think of another way to do it? Or am i missing something? How would you accomplish;

Form1 takes entrys about working shifts, they are then visible in a view 'open shifts'.

How do i make it so that users can apply for a shift? If they apply to a shift the shift has to disappear from the open list and a mail should be automatically sent to admin providing the applicant name and the shift.

Then the admin can approve the shift and a mail should be sent to user saying your shift is approved.

How would you do this??

I'm very familiar with shift picking. I wouldn't use two forms, I'd only use one using a repeater to display available open shifts. Instead of a view, I would allow the user to edit the form. Show all fields as disabled except for a checkbox that says "Pick this shift". The user clicks the checkbox and submits the form where conditional logic takes over and send the email. When you display the form to the next user, user conditional logic to show only available shifts.

Thanks for your answer, this is what i tried at first. Only problem is how do i make a random checkbox sent the whole entry to my email? Im not able to yet. Its just a static thing that i cant click? Then i thought i will let them change post status from open to and let that alert my email. That works but you cant select multiple shifts at once.

Also, what do you mean with the repeater? It now shows all shifts in a view. Is there another way to view them? Thanks in advance!
