I have a claim form built with RSform used in local network. The users who write the complaints are the users of the joomla site(for exemple user1 user2 user3). The form contains : the details of the claim (textbox), the date (calender) and the recipient (checkbox) for exemple : Manager, Technical department ... the recipient also is a user of the joomla site. => so for exemple user1 write a complaint to user2.

After the sending of the form(user1 send the complaint),user1 and user2 and user3 can consult the list of complaints through the link RSForm! Pro » Submissions - Directory //or RSForm! Pro » Submissions - View

In this list, i want that only user3 can make modification, so he can add new data to the form (for exemple user3 is the manager and he can say "ok" in a new field dont exist in the original form so i can use a hidden field)

at this moment, user1 can confirm his request by clicking on one button "confirmation".

  • Sorry, I'm finding your question a little too Unclear / Too Broad. So far, I only see your work requirements, but this community is not AirTasker. What have you tried so far? Please improve your question and title. – mickmackusa♦ Aug 29 '19 at 8:37
  • Thank you. 1) I have a claim form -> 2) after sending to the concerned users -> 3) all users can see the list of claims through the link RSForm! Pro » Submissions - Directory or RSForm! Pro » Submissions - View -> 4) One of thems only can add more informations in new fields -> 5) the applicant who send the form can confirm the request after reading the information written by the user. – Mo Hamed Aug 29 '19 at 13:53

RSForms has pretty good documentation. It sounds like you want conditional form fields. I would suggest having the first field be a select box with choices like

  • User 1
  • User 2
  • User 3

Then you can setup conditional fields to show the subsequent fields only when your select field = User 1 or whatnot. Note that these other fields should not have a field type of "hidden field" as those will never be visible to user. Please take a look at these.

Or you can write a custom validation if you want:

  • no i dont have because I can't configure it . i add more details : 1) I have a claim form -> 2) after sending to the concerned users -> 3) all users can see the list of claims through the link RSForm! Pro » Submissions - Directory or RSForm!

  • Can you clarify on how you are defining user? Is it #2 are customers with claim and #3 are the claims officers (or whatever)? #5 is the customer with claim is confirming information written by claims officer? Please edit the original question with your 1-5, with the users defined better – YellowWebMonkey Aug 29 '19 at 21:10

Try it like this: Add fields but "hide" them on the form (field = unpublished) That way the fields are there in the system, just not visible on the front-end form

  • Thank you for attempting to support the OP, but asking questions of the OP must not be done as an answer. Perhaps rephrase your answer so that it doesn't seek a response from the OP. State your suggestion as a definitive, resolving action. I will curb my initial urge to delete this post, please edit. – mickmackusa♦ Mar 3 at 23:07
