How to allow 'edit and resend' ONLY during the same week the survey was taken?

Question

I would like to limit users from editing a form and resubmitting by only allowing them to submit a survey the same week they collected the data.

Currently I am taking the end type date and comparing it with the today() date to make the form read-only.

if(format-date(${today},'%W') = format-date(${enddate},'%W')

I now realize that %w does not work in calculation so the today() does not recalculate when the form is reopened in the sent folder.

Is there an alternative to this?  Maybe with a constraint?  I am not sure how to get the last date of the week the initial survey was collected.

We limit certain surveys for editing by activating the inbox and only displaying the past ten days with a query expression: created_date between CURRENT_DATE - 8 AND CURRENT_DATE+1

This will only display surveys collected within the last ten days (backwards 9 days plus today) so these are the only surveys available to edit via the Inbox.

Thanks, I went with something similar but I calculate the + days based on what day of the week it is, i.e. if Mon + 7, if Tues + 6....

If you want the current week, then you may be out of luck. If you want something a little looser like within 7 days, then that should be easy enough.

Place a constraint on a hidden question. When survey is first created, create a date calculation (e.g., ${form_start_7}) to be something like today+7 days. Then, have a second hidden date question (e.g, ${date_today}) with calculationMode=always and set the default to today() so each time the survey is opened it is today's date. Then, compare the two dates in the constraint question, ensuring ${date_today} is <= ${form_start_7}

Not something I've tried to do before, but should work.
