Button Submits form and Opens Webpage or Form

Forms

asked on May 1

What is the best way to have a button close a form and open a new form? I have a process where I want the user to accept or deny a form. When they accept, I would like them to have a new process open and fill the variables with data from the previously submitted form. I am currently on Forms 11 and planning to move to 12 soon. I used to have this in JS on Forms 10, it is no longer working in the modern designer.

Thank you!

You won't be able to "hijack" the click event of your submission buttons in the form designer, and you won't be able to close the current window. You can open a link in a new tab though.

Create a button on your form with a custom html element
define the button with "onclick='rejectFormAction()'" event handler
In the JS window define a function "window.rejectFormAction"

<button type="button" onclick="rejectFormAction()" class="my-custom-button">
  Reject
</button>

window.rejectFormAction = () => {
    // Change the state of the form or add an overlay
    // Overlay could say "you can now close this page" for example
   window.open('https://mylink.com', '_blank')
}

When they accept the form, are you wanting them to get the same form with previously submitted data as a new instance or do you want a completely different process to be their next step?
