I use ChronoForms to edit a table with user data.
For some user I want to make it possible to edit all fields, for others only some fields.
How can I dynamically drop/delete specific fields from the form (eg delete them from the form->data[] array).

Hi benbeek,

You can use a Custom Code action in the form ON Load event to edit the $form->data array and unset some values. But it might be better to either hide the inputs or set them to readonly or disabled instead.

I tried that with a php onload event before the show html, eg:

unset($form->data['startdate']) ;

but this does not work. Field 'startdate' is still there.

So the question is (and was): how can I delete fields from the form? (or maybe disable or hide them).

Hi Benbeek,

One simple solution is to put the optional inputs into a Custom Container and then add PHP to the Start box so that the container is only displayed if the user is 'approved'.
