Hi all
Need opinion on my project. Now im create a reporting form for my college. and initially the reporter will submit 1st report from and later they will continue to complete the form after the troubleshooting has been done.
to continue and complete the report, they will require to fill the email and report number (generated from the from itself), if the email and report number is true (from the previous report) they will proceed and to continue fill the form.
thank you

Why wouldn't you just use the WordPress ID? Or are you not allowing people to have WordPress IDs?

This is pretty standard functionality with a form, a view, and the ability to edit an entry with a pro license. It may not be exactly as you say it, but it's a pretty common feature to have a form, collect data, present the data and allow the ability to click an individual piece of data and edit it.

replied 2 years ago exactly and understood the ability of pro functions. now, how to make filter the initial reports, so then, the only genuine initial submitter can continue to make a full reports on the resolution issues. i believe its inappropriate if everybody can see the table data of the reports. im thinking, by providing an email and report id which generated earlier only can redirect to the correct form
I tend to rely on a token and/or password protect the content.
Password protect content: https://wordpress.org/plugins/password-protect-page/ (Use a form to capture a password and then nest that password field into the shortcode on the page where the editable form will exist)

i tried ur method on token idea : https://www.techmavenconsulting.com/2022/06/22/formidable-pro-secure-data/
but, im still unable to do like u do it.
i put the Final Code into the customise html, n yet it messup the form where everyone can see the code in the front end of the form.
and how to use the code in the field key form field to generate the code.
Are you able to share the form publicly via URL for troubleshooting purposes? You can email me at dgodfather@techmavenconsulting.com if you'd like to keep this private.
