The form is not locked.

Hello SoumyaSajith,

I’ve asked my colleagues to test it on their environment. And most of them are encountering the described behavior. We hope the developers team will fix it soon.

For now, as a workaround you may try to reset the settings, i.e. uncheck Start date and End date and then re-check these options again and then set the time and check the results.

We apologize for inconvenience caused by this behavior and appreciate your understanding.

Best Regards,

Igor

Answer 3

Hello SoumyaSajith,

Thank you for update and a screenshot.

Can you please confirm if you share a link that allows to duplicate?

If yes, you will create a link for a template of the form that would allow you or other users to copy and edit the copy of the form and it is not used for collecting responses.

Please describe how you duplicate a Form and the way you share a link.

May I also know if you encounter the similar issues with another forms?

Best Regards,

Igor

Answer 5

Hello SoumyaSajith,

We’re deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused.

As I understand you copied a form, but you are not able to set the start date and finish date and also can’t receive responses on your copied form. If my understanding doesn’t match the scenario you are facing, please post back and correct me.

We have tried to reproduce the same behavior on our side, but we didn’t meet the problems with setting start date or receive responses. So, to narrow down an issue please provide the additional information:

1. Can you provide a screenshot of the Form settings as on the example bellow:
2. Did you create a Form in browser or some other app?
3. Do you encounter the issues with the Forms without a start/finish date?

We will wait for your reply. Feel free to post back to us if you need further support.

Best Regards,

Igor
