Editing forms after submission

Vote:
 

Hello All ,

How I can manipulate data of a form which is submitted.

I can read it , but not modify it.

Any kind of input is appreciated.

Do you want to modify data before saving into Database (Submit => modify data => Save) or after saving into Database (Submit => Save data => Read => Modify) ?

If you want to format/modify data before saving into Database you can hook into Forms' Submitting Event.

Take a look at Forms Event Listener Demo

Hi Himshikhar,

You can use Submitted Event with method below to modify submission data

		public void ModifySubmissionData(FormsSubmittedEventArgs args)
		{
			// get form container block
			var formContainerBlock = args.FormsContent as FormContainerBlock;
			var formLocale = formContainerBlock as ILocale;

			// get form identity
			var formIdentity = new FormIdentity { Guid = formContainerBlock.Form.FormGuid, Language = formLocale.Language.Name };

			var _submissionStorageFactoryy = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<SubmissionStorageFactory>();
			// get submission storage base on form instance's configuration
			var submissionStorage = _submissionStorageFactoryy.GetStorage(formIdentity);

			submissionStorage.UpdateToStorage(args.FormSubmissionId, formIdentity, args.SubmissionData);
		}

Thanks for the reply.

I will explian you the scenario.

  1. First we use the event to submit the page and modilfy before submitting.
  2. Then we go to a payment gateway , this gateway is redirected from a controller.
  3. Payment page returns to same controller.
  4. Based on response from payment gateway , i need to update the Form submitted data from the controller.

I hope it helps to understand my problem.

Hi Himshikhar,

I think that whatever the business is, in order to update submission data stored in the database, we need to know FormIdentity and which FormSubmissionId were are going to update.

As the code above shows that we use UpdateToStorage method to update submission data. You have to keep track both FormIdentity  and FormSubmissionId  when redirecting between pages/controllers
