Save form to text file?

  1. I am working on a form that allows someone to edit multiple subscribers and their information. The customer wants up to 20 subscribers edited on this form. I need to be able to add, modify or delete a subscriber. Now I am not actually modifying anything. I am just setting up a form to be filled out and then submitted to someone in an email and that person will actually modify the subscribers.
    I have played with conditional fields, but to setup all of the fields required 20 times and build in a condition to hide or display makes the form kind of bulky. I can't use the multi input field because I need to use dropdowns and address fields within the form for these potentially 20 subscribers.

    The form is structured that there are some general fields that the user fills out and then starts to modify the subscribers. Is there any way to fill out the information for one user - save that to a temp file, DB or location and then refresh the form so that it can be filled out again? When the form is submitted the information could then be included in a single email?

  2. With conditional logic, the form is going to be bulky, because all 20 field sets will need to be present.

    You can use drop downs in the list field if you need to. But the address type field would not work there.

    You could submit the form for one user, then on confirmation, you could ask "edit another?" and link that to the form again, or even display the form there, with the unchanging information pre-filled. However, that would result in an individual email for each subscriber change.

    I think I would try to go the route of the list field and just separate out the address pieces if you can, so one row is one subscriber, and then the customer can "add another" to get a new line for modifying a new subscriber.

    I don't know of any other ways to do it.
