    Umbraco forms - on submit

    I want to hijack the "on-submit" event. I have a database table that I want to save the form data to but i have specific pre-insert logic I need to perform. I created the form from my datasource, my workflow doesn't trigger until it's too late. Umbraco Forms tries to save the record before I can inject the necessary values for my database constraints (not part of the form data.)

    My assumption is that I need to get to the on-submit event before the postback occurs?

    Hi Max

    You can try to use javascript to hijack the "on-submit" event. Like that:

        $('#umbraco_form_' + formId + ' form').on('submit',
        function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();

            var $form = $(this);

            if ($form.data('submitted') === true) {
                // Previously submitted - don't submit again
            } else {}
   })

    Thanks,

    Alex

    That will prevent the post back as well, correct?

    Thanks, Max
