You would need 7 tables to store responses to each survey.

And maybe 7 helper tables where you will construct custom forms.

This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using [User Specific Columns](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/user-specific-columns) and [Relations](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/relation-column) Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particular…

That way, people can go back and continue filling their form. Add a way for them to view their submitted responses and edit them as well. Prevent them from submitting a new entry should be straightforward with a relation to each response table, and hiding the button to open the form when the relation is not empty.
