Is there a way to put time limits on the forms? For example, I want to make it where they only have 30 minutes to complete the form for a contest. I dont want to limit the amount of submissions, just the time limit
Thanks for reaching out to Jotform support. Yes, adding a time limit to your form and blocking the submission when the time expires is possible. Here's how to do it:
In Form Builder, click on Add Element in the top left corner.
In the Widgets tab, search and select Global Countdown.
Click on the Magic Wand icon next to the widget.
In the right menu, set the limits and the action.
After the time expires, the form is automatically blocked. Here's the result:
