How to avoid Calculate field when invisible allows to Submit Survey

JoseSanchez — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 14:49:18 GMT

Good morning,

I am using a text field with a calculate function to check if a record was already entered in the Survey.

If I keep the field "Calculation" visible it returns an error message and does not allow to submit. If I make it invisible it allows to submit.

What can I do to not allow to submit when the field Calculation is not blank and invisible?

Thanks

Why you not post the line from the XLSX? This works as documented. I'm guessing maybe your using relevant when you need to use hidden?

Hidden fields do not trigger a constraint on purpose as it would bring the user to an empty spot on the form and not be possible for them to fix. This is actually something I asked for as it is confusing to the user. I think what you have there is the best you can do. Maybe change the messages and field name to make it look better.
