Limit number of times an action button can be pressed
I am having problems with an action button composing a response in a form. How do I limit the number of times an action button can be pressed, i.e., "three strikes and your out." I want to have a response form that can be raised under each parent form no more than THREE times. However, if the user presses the action button and then Esc out of the Response I don't want that to count.
The best way to do that is to increment a counter field in the parent document every first time a response is saved. You could use a formula in the response like the following one.
tempResponse :=
@GetDocField($Ref; "Responses");
@IF(@IsNewDoc AND @IsDocBeingSaved;
@SetDocField($Ref;
"Responses"; tempResponse + 1 );
@Return());
