Thanks for sharing a little bit more about your situation. I understand that no longer being able to edit finalized forms might require you to adapt your process. We are trying to accommodate for lots of different workflows and user needs. A few of the main reasons finalized forms are no longer editable:
- reduce the risk of data collectors continuing to edit data after they no longer have access to the data collection subject.
- prevent edits after an important workflow step is completed (for example, supervisor review).
- let Collect do data processing with a guarantee that the data won’t change (for example, creating Entities).
We recently created a guide about how to best design for the end-of-form experience so that data collectors take the right next step after filling a form, which might be a helpful resource for you to design an alternative.
