Lock the voting options on the confiforms

[Ajay D]

Is there a way to lock the voting options on the confiforms confluence, but still show the # of votes received?

Hi @Ajay D and welcome to this community

While the obvious answer would be to use the "lock form" parameter in the ConfiForms Form Definition  macro it does not seem to work with a "voting control" field

You can create a view that instead of using the voting field directly, does shows only the count

In the example below I have a voting control field named as "vo" and using asCount virtual function

Thank you @Alex for your quick reply. When it is time to lock the voting option, is the suggestion to remove the votes field and just retain the field which uses the asCount virtual function? I understand this will make the votes visible, but actual voting is not possible. Added the pic below for your quick reference:

Best,

Yes, that is correct

And we will make sure that the "Lock form" feature works as expected for any field type (expect this to be fixed very near term, hopefully in the next update to ConfiForms)

Excellent! Thank you @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_

@Ajay D Welcome to the Atlassian community

I believe you will need to use virtual functions to display a results https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/TEST/How+to+use+voting+controls+in+ConfiForms

Thank you @Brant Schroeder for your quick reply. I just asked a question to Alex to make sure I understand the solution / usage of virtual function on the voting view. 

Cheers,
