"No duplicates" property +

A quick question:

Is there any way or field that has a "no duplicates" property for a form field - eg: username?

If not is there any chance that this may be something that would/could happen in the future?

TIA

Don't think so. Right now it's just a form builder, and not really meant for database work even though it saves info to a database. You could use jquery I'm sure, or php to bump the input against your database to check for duplicates, after the form is submitted. Eric could probably tell you more about this but I'm sure it would take some code writing. :cool:

There's a few ways to approach this depending on what your trying to accomplish and as Gunsmoke stated it would all be done after the manual export and require a good amount of coding of php, mysql and JQuery depending on the needs. The form builder is a submission platform and doesn't handle call backs from outer sources. I don't see them ever including it as there's so many different things to setup.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

As a possible solution CC has a password app. You could perhaps set up a landing page then the correct password would allow access to the form proper. The trial version could show if it works. Otherwise it is as Eric and Gunsmoke say. I have scripted something like that in learning PHP and it ain't simple. And it needs a database to handle the stored pass info.
