Enable / Disable the form

When passing in "disabled" form, the permissions should be updated to remove the ability to post new records.

Some acceptance criteria:

  • A form is active by default
  • A form can be deactivated by the form author in the admin dashbaord (Switch on/off Accepting Responses à la Google Forms?)
  • A custom message is displayed to the user when a form is inactive

Would it be acceptable to display the same message to an user if the form is disabled or if it does not exist?

You can start with a basic "This form is not available" message and leave the user wondering why but at least you have a first implementation of the feature.

If your store the state of the form, you could be more explicit:

  • "This form has been deleted by its author"
  • "This form has been deactivated by its author"

The custom message would be a nice to have feature to be able to display a more friendly message like "The call for speaker is now closed, the schedule will be announced shortly"
