I have created some forms in my doc, and I see that once I publish it that any Coda user is able to click the Edit Form button in the top right. They can make changes to columns just like me, the Doc Owner.
My settings for the form are as follows:
Anyone on the internet can use this link
Allow submissions: on
Require login: on
All other sliders under Privacy in the form are off.
I also have the page the form is based in hidden and locked, set to Read Only.
I opened the form with a normal test Coda user and they were able to make any changes that reflected to all other users for the form.
Any way I can make the form allow submissions, but not be editable by anyone?
If not, would be a great to allow form locking to avoid users from ruining forms.
So to better understand:
You pusblished your form, the user from another workspace is asked to login, they do it and they can still edit your published form just as you can edit it?
Check my form here and tell me if you encounter the same thing?
I have it set to Can Use not can view, as I want people to fill out the form in its own link so its published.
I was unable to use your test form at all.
I am looking to have users be able to submit my forms, if they are logged into Coda. But I do not want them to be able to edit the structure of the form, which they can do in the top right of the published form.
I still cannot edit you form or input any data into the entries.
But regardless, I was referring to forms that have their own unique links. Like a Google Form. A published Coda form.
Only the users with whom you share your doc that have edit permission can alter your form.
Yes true, but with normal pages or tables you have the ability to set it to be locked and uneditable, even by people with Edit permission. Would be nice to have that for forms, so nothing can be messed up (intentionally or unintentionally).

@Nima_Tabletop , thanks for bringing this aspect of the form logic under the attention of the coda community. I like the suggestion to have a lock form option to avoid (un)intended harm being done by editors to your tables via the form. I hope that the coda (GR) employees reading with us.
