I was wondering if it's possible to put a form within another form. We're working on an application form that has supplementary documents that need to be uploaded as part of the application. Some will simply need to be uploaded, but is it possible to link to another LF form to complete a simple form as part of the supplementary documents for the application?

I'm hoping there'll be a button on the main form (form A) that would open in a different form (form B) and is submitted before continuing on the application (form A). Both form A and B would be saved to the repository with similar metadata once completing the process.

If this is possible, how would it be set up?

Have you tried using an iFrame to embed another form into your form?

In an Custom HTML field, on the Html tab, enter the following (using the actual URL to your published form of course):

I haven't tested what would happen if you submit this form within a form, but I think it would work.

Maybe enough to get you pointed in the right direction?

Do you need a completely separate form instead of simply adding a Page 2 where you can put a collection with a file upload field and any additional data you'd want to collect? Configure the Page 2 to only show up if additional documents are required
