Webform Preview can change submit limit.

In "Webform advanced settings" make sure that "Limit the number of submissions a user may send within a specified time period" is setup with no restrictions

As far as you don't have that problem again, this might be caused by CAPTCHA module. I had some other problems with CAPTCHA module before so... you will see shortly :) Just to be safe, you can do a backup everyday of database with your submissions.

I got this problem when more than one box was checked for users allowed to submit the form. Since only one user at a time can work on any given form, it starts complaining.
I went to: "webform access control", and checked only "authenticated user" - solved it for me :)

The problem is actually more subtle. Steps to repeat:

1. Create a new webform, fill in any required fields, note that under 'Webform Advanced Settings', that the submission limit is set to 'Unlimited'
2. Hit 'Preview' To preview the form.
3. Check the submission limits.

You will see that the "Limit to" option is now selected instead of "Unlimited", that with the defaults of an empty "Limit to" text box, and "ever" as the frequency, will result in the above message, as the form will be set to "Limit to 0 submissions ever".

I'm currently looking into a fix. Not sure what the cause is just yet, but I am able to easily repeat this on webform 6.x-2.3, and 6.x-2.1.1. I am assuming the problem still exists in 6.x-2.x-dev.

This patch seems to resolve the issue for me.

I'm not sure it 'feels' like the best solution, but it is the simplest way from what I can see.

The problem is that submit_limit is actually the text_field, which on preview, ends up setting submit_limit to an empty string.

I can not see this patch causing any other issues, but it does seem to remedy the problem described here.

Comments help. :)

Better title.

Thanks again cdale. Great patches, sorry for the delay in getting to them. I couldn't reproduce this in Drupal 5, which is good since it doesn't have NODE_BUILD_MODE anyway. Committed to the D6 branch.

Submit limit checks user's IP address for limitation, if specified. Does anyone know if there is a way to add a different criteria (for example email field from the form), without having to mess with the module code?

wow... thanks for this thread... helpfull for me..

thanks

the problem still till after patch there is no relation to permission or CAPTURE
to fix it
edit the web form
go to Webform advanced settings

check unlimited
save

I am experiencing this problem. After catching up on my sites updates (I now have 6.28, and all the recommended versions for my modules) all of my webforms started dipsplaying "you may not sumbit another entry at this time" after a user submits the form.

I tried looking at the form and noticed under total submission limit 'limit to' was checked. I changed it to unlimited and saved the form, but the change didn't take. The 'limit to' box was checked again. So, I tried putting in a large number for the limit, and saved. Again, the saved informaion disapeared, and the 'limit to' box was checked with-out any specified limit. I tried changing some of the other limit options on the form, and saved. Those did take, but didn't fix the problem.

Anyone else experiencing this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?

Have a good day

Issue solved...I downgraded to the version of Webform I had before the upgrade and everything works again.

I had the same issue and I solved it searching for the corresponding table in the database. Go to the databases administrator (ie. I use phpmyadim) -> go the table webform and there just change the value in column total_submit_limit to -1. It should fix the issue.
