Editing an already submitted form

Hi everyone,

After a user submits a form, if they have made a mistake they can go to the form and click the edit button, on the edit buttons OnSelect I have this:

Set(varModeEdit,!varModeEdit)

This works fine, but I have set it so it can't be edited if the form has passed the first approval.

This too works fine.

But I've noticed a backdoor in my code, if a user goes to another form they have submitted and clicks the edit button and then goes back to the gallery and clicks the already approved form, this already approved form appears in edit mode... and I want the variable to reset when a user selects an item from the gallery, or when they navigate to my SucessScreen

If your form has a a datacaradvalue with the Approval, you can use the displaymode of the form.
In the Default mode put;
If(datacaradvalue4="Approved",FormMode.View,FormMode.Edit)

This way even if the use selects the Gallery, it cannot be edited.

@eka24 Aha, that's a good shout and something I can use for sure.
I normally have a notify message appear on screen when a user selects the button and the form is already approved.

I've just tested this too, on my GalleryScreen OnVisible i set it to Set(varModeEdit, false)
This seems to work, when i navigate from the gallery, do you see any flaws with this approach?

If it works fine but how does this disable the edit of the form when Approved is selected in the Gallery
