Displaying Wix Form Collections on a web page

I have setup a form in WixForms using Wix Editor. It collects submissions in a “Wix Form Collections” CMS (not a “Your Collections” CMS). The permissions for the Wix Form Collection is automatically set to admin only and cannot be changed.

I want to be able to link a repeater on a web page to that submitted data. I can link it in the editor but because of the permissions, it won’t view on the live (or previewed) page. It’s pretty clear about the inability to change permissions.

I just looking for a way to do this since the normal way of linking repeaters to CMS won’t work. I can’t have visitors log into Wix to view the submissions.

Can I send the form data to a different CMS that I have permissions control over?
Can I mirror the Wix Form Collection CMS with a Your Collections CMS?

Appreciate any help/suggestions. Thanks.

Add a new collection in “Your collection” tab. Wix form collection can be viewed by admins and site owners in the Wix dashboard. If you want admins to view and update in Live site, use old form. But for custom one , add your new collection instead.

Thanks for the reply. How do I send my Wix form submitted data to the new collection instead of the Wix collection?

You can use a custom collection as a form.

Here is a quick reference video

Turn on the Dev Mode. And add input elements from the input tab in the add element panel(left side).
Here is the reference
Add | VELO (wix.com)
Get Items | VELO (wix.com)

$w.onReady(() => {
  $w("#myDataset").onReady(() => {
    let itemObj = $w("#myDataset").getCurrentItem();
  });
});
$w("#submitButton").onClick(() => {
$w("#myDataset")
  .add()
  .then(() => {
    console.log("New item added");
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    let errMsg = err;
  });
}

add the input field code to customize what you want
check the video shared by V-Blog. It’s more helpful.

I would like to use Wix Form instead of building the form elements using individual input items. Wix Form allows for much easier conditional paths and pages. Will velo code tap into the Wix Form elements? I’ve done quite a bit with Velo but this is my first requirement to use Wix Forms (vs input elements to build my own form).

You can’t update from live site if you’re using the Wix Form. Also the submission can’t be view by your site user. Only admin can because the Wix Form Data Collections can’t change the permission.
