Nextcloud (please complete the following information):

  • Nextcloud-Version: 31.0.9 Enterprise
  • Forms-Version: 5.2.0

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When a form is share with edit permission, i allways have to wait 15min to edit the shared form.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Document the edit-share-permission-lock feature
  • It should be possible to edit the form immediately after approval (optional)

Describe alternatives you've considered wait

Additional context https://github.com/nextcloud/forms/pull/2737#issue-3055265157 I don't really get the lock feature for forms and i didn't find more info about it.

@pbuergi the form owner can always remove a form lock within the settings of the form.

  • Document the edit-share-permission-lock feature

If you want you can help us by creating some user facing documentation. This is also already tracked in #2643

  • It should be possible to edit the form immediately after approval (optional)

Please explain in detail what you mean with this

If the form is locked, there is a button on top of the settings to unlock it

I don't see that. Could it be that the problem is that an error occurs when I share it? (we use external storage with 0B Quota https://github.com/nextcloud/forms/issues/2900)

NotPermittedException
Could not create folder "/[user]/files/Forms/43 - Test Formualr"

Sharing the form (with edit perm) still works if i do it several times

Do you have a file question in the form? For this to work the owner of the form must be able to create folders. Uploaded files will also be counted against the owner's quota

No, just a checkbox question. The error occurs with every form. Also when i have a quota (e.g. 10GB) the error occurs when i share the form.
