Using info uploaded using the Forms app with pages

I don't see any documentation on this anywhere, so I was wondering whether it is possible to upload data using the forms app and then use that data to populate a page? Seems like it would be possible, but I'm hoping that it would be fairly straightforward.

Anyone have any experience doing this?

Thanks. Tim

There's nothing built into the Forms app to do that currently.

So even though the data is stored in the Perch database there's no way to access it and use it in a page? Not even through some documented workaround?

That sounds more like the Comments app.

What are you trying to achieve?

I'm trying to have people submit a form that reserves a date for a campsite and have it populate a calendar page. I can do it manually, but was hoping to automate it.

There's no good way to do that at the moment - to enable an editor to pick from content entered by a site user. I've never seen anything like that in any system.

OK, thanks for your time.
