Deactivate Form manually

[dacoex]

It would be great to be able to deactivate a form (resp. submission to it) manually.

Original Request

Currently, one has to delete a form in order to ensure no one enters further submissions into an existing form.

It would be great to be able to deactivate a form at certain conditions:

1. Submission deadline reached (similar to expiry of a sharing link max. validity)
2. Number of answers reached a certain threshold (e.g. registrations for a weekend excursion)
3. Manual deactivation

Deactivation would have the the advantage that forms can be used for recurring occasions such as annual member meeting.

1. You can currently set an expiration date on a form. Then nobody (except you as owner) can submit anymore after that date.
2. #596
3. Ok, that seems to be a new request. ;)

thanks for the triage.

so manual deactivation is similar to setting expiration date to the next hour (as a work around).

What would be a better approach to implement this?

1. set expiration to now or a previous date when the form gets deactivated
2. add a property to form "isOpen" and sync it with "expires" (when form expires or gets desactivated)

I'd go for a separate property isDisabled, but NOT syncing it. Disabling is then just evaluated first and thus overrides expiration. Can probably also have a separate EmptyContent.
