Changing Variables Associated with a Field

Forms
Updated April 26, 2016
asked on April 26, 2016

We have an evaluation process which sends the same form to four different individuals simultaneously. However, the four individuals do not complete the form at the same time. The challenge is when one of the individuals completes the form any other individual's form will come pre-loaded with data from the last submission. We tried to create a copy of the form for each individual (i.e. four copies of the same form) however the same variable is associated with all forms hence the issue persists. 

 

Is there a way to change the variables associated with a field? or is there a better way of solving this?

You don't want the data on the form get updated when one individual completes the form? For all the data or just some specific fields? Associate fields on different forms to same variable is to keep the data consistent among the process. If you don't want them to use same value, you can use different variables for different fields. For example: on Form 2, remove the original field you get after copy and add a new field with same name, set the default value of the new field to use the variable associate with the original field to let the field has default value.

Hello, 

Thank you for the help. 

The form is quite lengthy and to avoid long time spent in creating the same fields over again which is why we created copies of the original form. Each submission is unique (the entire form). Are you saying there is no other way around this expect we create new fields for each form?

Yes, when copy the form, the fields are automatically associated to the variable and there is no way to remove the association
