Button on a dataset page not showing submit option

Hello, thank you in advance for your input - I’m building a database for all users to be able to submit to.

After making a database, developing fields, creating dynamic page, constructin form, and then designing a button ‘intended’ to be used as a “Submit” button, I am having this issue:

"When clicking the button, then selecting the database icon, hovering to the
‘link connects to’ section - it grays out the “Submit” option.

I cannot click it.

It’s not allowing me to create a submission button?

Any thoughts?

Thank you

Please observe the screenshots added

Check the mode of the dataset that the button is connected to. You can only submit to a read-write or write-only dataset.

Thank you so much, Sam! I am checking that out now -

First question is this: What location would I find the “submit to a read-write or write only”

Please see the attached screenshot of where I am looking.

Thank you

Find the dataset element on your page and select it. Then click the Manage Dataset button. You will see a section titled Mode .

Sam,

Thank you + 100 times over - I just got it resolved.

Thank you for youer help!

What a great community that is found here.

My form works on preview mode but doesn’t in live mode. Any idea why?

Did you sync your preview database to the Live?


Also, make you have the permissions of the collection set correctly.

Thanks for your input. I had the wrong permission on the collection set. It works now!

The problem for me is that, whenever my input fields are connected to my dataset, I can’t input any data (in preview and publish mode). I originally set up the job application dynamic pages, which automatically created collections, then I created my own job submit form and linked the inputs to that collection. However, when did that, all of the connected input pieces became void (I still can’t even click on the buttons). I believe I should have changed all of the permissions to Read+Write, and have made it a Form Submission. However, I also don’t think I have a dataset element on my page that shows up. It was there before, but it doesn’t appear to be there anymore. Any help appreciated :). Thanks!

Hi there! I’m having the same issue as you. Did you ask the owner site to give you that permission?
