Unpublish form

I would like to see the option to unpublish a form and or to set a limit to the submissions. For example I would like to set a limit of 100 submissions due to a webinar subscription.

Yes, we have clients that email the shared link to some forms when collecting data from customers (not lead generation) and they would like to be able to set an expiration date or unpublish the form so on a certain date the form will no longer accept submissions.

Yes, this would be a great option to have! In our case, we'd like to disable submissions on a certain date.

Would be very helpful to have an 'unpublish' option. In our case we have reached max. registrations for our program, and want to close the registration, but not have to delete the form. Moving forward this does make a good case for using a landing page and embeding the form, rather then sending out a link direct to the form in hubspot, that way you would have a way to control when the form is live.

It would be very helpful to unpublish a form so that closed or limited attendance events could be closed.

Agreed on all of the above. It would be critical to have an unpublish or de-activate feature for forms, especially since some forms are used as standalone pages and can be accessed at any time by the people we send them to. When our team is no longer accepting responses there is no reflect this easily without deleting the form (which also deletes all analytics and tracking records) or removing/hiding all the fields. We would appreciate it if this could be prioritized in HubSpot's roadmap of updates. Thanks!

It would be extremely important to have an unpublish or even a de-activate feature for all forms.

This is a function that we're really needing too! Currently we're having to use a workaround to hide all fields and submit on the form which isn't the best.

 

It'd be great to have the ability to close/unpublish the form and have a message appear advising that this form is now closed.

I do not understand why we can not unpublish a form. It should be a basic function. We are encountering issues with not being able to unpublish forms due to people signing up after events have past.

I really don't understand why we can't unpublish a form - it should be a basic function. Please correct this.

We also wish that Hubspot could add the unpublish function to all Forms!

+1 for this feature improvement so we can disable form submissions without losing the data associations with the form!

Damnit Hubspot, if I can publish a form, I should be able to UNpublish it 

 

But you don't listen to your users so I have no idea why I'm even posting this

PLEASE PLEASE make the feature available, we NEED to be able to unpublish the form, rather than deleting it.

Would be good if we can also disable a form submissions whenever we want.

That way we have options of reaching target goals or disabling a form after a certain time period without losing data

I definitely would like to unpublish a form! I want to disable a form after a certain time period without losing data. There are so many, many situations where the form is out-of-date and old.
