Updating Form Changes Viewing of Previously Submitted Forms

Forms

Updated January 13, 2021

asked on February 17, 2014

In Forms 9.1 I created a form several months ago that has been successfully used in production. Due to a departmental request, I went and changed the design of the form and everything is working fine in the updated version. The issue I am having is that when I view the results history on a form submitted prior to the change and choose View Submission #, the data that is shown is correct however it is shown in the new version of the form. Shouldn't the View Submission # show a copy of the exact form submitted in the same format it was submitted or do I have to create/copy to a new form every time I need to make a change?

When you modify the form, the old submission data will be rendered in the new format. If you want to retain the same format when the form is submitted, you can either copy a new form, or save a copy of the form using the Save to Repository service task so you have the record in Laserfiche repository. Development team will consider to implement Forms version in future release so it will retain the old form format when you open the submission.

Hello,

Just wondering if further development are planned on this subject, it would be really useful for the history of submission to keep the old form format and variables, not the updated ones.

Thanks
