    I am interested in purchasing gravity forms, but wanted to check if my specialized need would be covered with your product.

    I am a photographer and I do portrait parties. I want to create a form for each party that would allow clients to sign up for timeslots. Once a timeslot is taken, (or form filled out) I want the availability of that time to be changed to unavailable. Or removed from the form. Or some similar function.

    Would I be able to do this with Gravity Forms? Would I be able to do anything similar to this until I've earned enough to hire a freelancer to build a custom form?

    Many thanks,
    angie

    Currently Gravity Forms does not enable you to deactivate individual selections on a form based on how many times a form has been selected with that value. So for now it would not be a good fit. It is a good idea and we will add it to our feature idea list, but it isn't currently possible.

    The only thing that is currently possible is to deactivate a form after a set number of form submissions. So you would have to setup a form for each time slot, which isn't ideal. But the suggestion for deactivating the form after X number of selections from a drop down is an interesting one and we will look into it as a feature enhancement for a future release.

    I'd be interested in something like this too. I organize volunteers for events and there are typically multiple time slots, where I need X number of volunteers for each time slot. So, from 9:00 - 10:30, I would accept 6 form submissions; from 10:30 - 12:00, maybe I would need 8 volunteers (entries). I've used forms where I had multiple radio buttons for each time slot (in the example above I would have 6 radio buttons for 9:00 - 10:30, 8 buttons for 10:30 - 12:00. Then I would go in and delete the radio button from the form as I received a volunteer submission (manual intervention, which was not ideal.) But when I delete the radio button selection, it deletes the entry I received for it. Not a good solution.

    Maybe if there was a way to accept just one entry per radio button selection? Or, I suppose manually I could have used some jQuery on the front end to disable or hide time slots that have already been submitted, after they were submitted (so I wouldn't lose the form submission.)

    Not looking for anything specific, just adding that I would have a use for this too and my specific use case.
