Flexible Expiry for Task Formss

Task Forms's flexible expiry feature automatically deactivates the form after a specified date and time, preventing new submissions beyond the deadline.

When Expiry Is Useful

• Project intake windows with firm submission deadlines.
• Monthly budget request periods that close on a specific date.
• Event registration forms that should stop accepting entries after capacity is planned.
• Quarterly data collection cycles with regulatory deadlines.

How It Works

Set the expiration date during Task Forms configuration. After this date, users who open the form see a message that submissions are closed. Existing child rows created before expiry remain in the sheet. The form configuration is preserved and can be reactivated with a new expiry date for future collection periods.

Key Benefits

• Automated deadline enforcement without manual intervention.
• Prevents late submissions that could disrupt planning.
• Reusable for recurring collection cycles by updating the expiry date.
• Works independently or in combination with password protection.
