Info

This feature requires a CommCare Software Plan

Most questions will appear with a text box containing their current value. Multiple choice and checkbox questions will appear with a dropdown that contains the options for that question (in the version of the app matching that form submission) and also allows entering a value not in that list of options. After editing any answer, it will be highlighted in green indicating that it has been changed.
This feature (Clean Form Submissions) will only be available to CommCare users with a Pro Plan or higher. For more details, see the CommCare Software Plan page.

The Clean Form Submission feature allows you to modify a form that has already been submitted by using CommCareHQ. Using this feature will only affect your form data and will not alter your cases in any way. If you need to edit your case data, please see the Clean Case Data Feature https://dimagi.atlassian.net/wiki/x/PQTKfw .

Overview

This feature adds a button called Clean Form Submission to every Form Details page  (accessible by going to the Reports/Submit History report and clicking "View Form").

  • When you edit a question type, calculations are not run for other questions in the form. You are only editing that specific answer and it has no effect on other questions or case properties. 

  • Cannot edit complex question types (Multimedia, Android Callouts or Barcodes)

  • Cannot edit skipped questions

    • If a question did not appear to the user in the original form entry due to a display condition, you will not be able to edit the answer.

  • No validations conditions are checked.

    • If a question has a validation condition, that logic will not be checked when you edit an answer. If you make a mistake, you can simply edit the answer again.
