For developers: Generate a query string for editing a form response on the frontend

To edit a specific form response on the frontend, an encrypted query string must be generated. In order to call open a response for editing:

  1. Call the FormsManager.GetEncryptedQueryStringFormResponseEdit.
    This method expects the following arguments:
    • ID of the form
    • ID of the response
    • The name of the forms provider.
      If null, the default provider is used.
    • A boolean value indicating whether the returned query string should start with a question mark.
      This is an optional argument.

      Use the following code sample:

  2. Navigate to the page that holds your form and append the generated query string to the URL.

When you open the page on the frontend, the form appears together with the requested response open for editing. Fields that you set to hidden are omitted and fields that you set to read-only are locked.
