Temporarily disable submit button - Confiforms

[Ryan Kafoor]

Hi,

I have a confiform form with several field definition rules (lookup and set value) which take some time to finish execution. The problem I have is that people would often submit the form before these rules have finished execution. Is there a way to temporarily disable the submit button until all the rules have finished executing? Some other solution would also be welcome. Thanks!

ConfiForms disables submit button while field definition rules are executed and enables it when they finish

Then I am not sure what is causing the anomaly.

The form has three fields. There are two field definition rules. One tracks the 1st field and another the 2nd. Input in the first field is used by the rule to set the value for field 2. Input in field 2 is used to set the input for field 3. 

The submit/save button becomes unclickable and then clickable twice on input in field 1. I am guessing the disabling is not continuous and users are able to submit before all the rules are executed. Can this happen?

with inpatient users this might be the case

If you have cascading rules then yes (result of a rule triggering other rules), the button becomes enabled until the other rule triggers

add a validation rule to ensure fields have values. So, even if the form gets submitted meanwhile - you get it protected by a validation rule

The problem with using a validation rule is that the fields are allowed to be empty. So there is no way of knowing whether the rules have actually been executed. At least if there was an option for the lookup rule to set a value if an empty record is returned, this could be solved.
