Description

  • Nextcloud-Version: Latest
  • Forms-Version: 2.2.4

PROBLEM
Options to download/save form information are limited to exporting/saving all responses.
This means that all responder's information will be saved into the same document/folder.
We are a health business using NextCloud for its HIPAA standards, and without separate form response saving options, we cannot roll out our online forms through NextCoud and will need to continue with paper versions.

SOLUTION
For each form response to be downloadable as a .pdf document onto the device or into the NextCoud folders

ALTERNATIVES
A very time-intensive process to export into excel and then copy/paste lines of information into new documents to be saved individually into separate folders that correspond to the responder. This is not feasible or sustainable.

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by tracing the existing all-response export entry point and determine how an individual response and PDF destination are represented; done means each response can be downloaded as its own PDF and saved to the device or a Nextcloud folder.
