[feature request] save terms and conditions copy with form
-
When we create a form that has a terms & conditions field, we can enter the full text of the terms that the user must agree to, but when we review the form entries, we only see the Admin Field Label e.g. “terms and conditions” and that the item was accepted; we don’t know exactly what terms they read or accepted.
Usually, the reason a field like this is placed in a form is to limit liability i.e. to be able to say to the user/customer “Our files indicate that you agreed to our terms which state …” But if we don’t see what they agreed to, we cannot reliably do this.
In addition, another potential issue happens if terms and conditions on a form are updated and new users are accepting the new terms while previous users had read and accepted the old terms. The way this field is designed now, it is impossible to know exactly what the user read and accepted, especially since there is not a revision system evident in the admin screens for a particular form (it might be in the database, but I don’t know).
I thought of creating hidden fields which contain the actual text of the terms and conditions and saving this alongside the checkbox, but since you can change the value of fields using javascript or a DOM inspector, I would much rather that an option be made available so that the text of the terms and conditions field can be recorded at the time of submission directly from the database.
Thank you!
