I have successfully built a digital form app and have some security trouble that I can’t resolve.

When 2 users fill the form simultaneously, they can see what the other users are typing.

Can you help me to find the solution?

Are you using a Custom Form?  
If yes, then you need to be sure to use [User Specific](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/basic-columns/user-specific-columns) columns.

I’m using a custom form but the problem with “user-specific” is that my form is open to the public and the user is filling his/her email at the end of the form, and I can’t do a “user-specific” on that

Yes you can. Just make sure the values they provide are written to non-user specific columns when the form is submitted and the new row is added.

I could, but not for a few hours.

In the meantime, if you could add a few screen shots that show how you have it setup then I (or somebody else) might be able to guide you.

Can you show me the table that your custom form is attached to?  
Also, I assume that you have a submit button at the end of the form that uses an Add Row action?  
Which table does that add a row to?
