for my use-case, i have created 100+ pre-filled links, that i want to disable after my user has submitted one entry. How can i do that? Please note that I can not ask my users to sign in with their emails, because that would be a hassle for them.

Hi Avani,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. To prevent multiple submissions from the same user, you can use the Unique Field feature. This feature allows you to set limits based on an answer from a specific field. The feature only works on the elements below:

  • Email
  • Short Text Entry
  • Dropdown
  • Number

Check out the steps and screencast below to see how it's done:

  1. Go to the Settings tab in Form Builder,
  2. Click on the Show More Options button.
  3. Scroll down and search for the Unique Field option.
  4. Select the appropriate field from the dropdown.

That's it. The changes will be saved automatically.

You can also use the Check Cookies and IP in the Unique Submission feature. This feature checks if the submission came from the same browser and IP Address.

We also have a guide about How to Set Form Limits Based on a Unique Field and How to Set Unique Submissions on a Form that you can check out.

Thank you @Gemmhel, I set the unique field. I tested by trying to fill 2 entries and it seems to work! But now I want to reset the form, since I still want to use that pre-filled link after rolling out. How do I do that? I tried deleting the response in the table but it's not working.

Hi Avani,

Thanks for getting back to us. If I understood you correctly, you want to reset the form so that the form can use 2 e-mails again. If this is the case, submissions must be deleted and the trash can emptied. Let me show you how:

  1. Select the submission and delete it.
  2. On the Tables page, click on the ellipsis icon on the right side of the current tab.
  3. Select Trashed entries from the options.
  4. Click on the Select All options to select all the items in the folder then click the Delete Forever button.
  5. Click the Delete button to confirm the deletion.

Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.

Thank you so much! I have just one last question. I want to send across pre-filled links for one form using Airtable to get the data for the pre-filled fields. I am expecting around 600 monthly responses. Will the monthly bronze pack be good for that?
