Perch Forms - Is it possible to alter a response after it's been submitted?

Hi guys,

I'm using a slightly complicated Forms implementation, and I was wondering if it's possible to alter a submitted form after it's been submitted?

There's a 3-step process happening so far: 1. User submits details, in order to see offer. Form submitted to Perch via AJAX, with an "offer_accepted" field (defaulted to "false"). 2. User sees offer. 3. User can choose to accept the offer. In this case, I'd like to update the response they've just posted so that "offer_accepted" becomes "true".

I'm open to other ways of this working, if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks! Harry

Are you using the Forms app, or do you mean forms in Perch more generally?

I'm using the forms app at the moment.

No, that's not possible with the Forms app. Forms is basically a simple form-to-email implementation that takes the data and emails or stores it.

It's separate from the native forms capability in Perch which can be used for templating, validating and handing off the results for processing with an app such as the Forms app.
