Info
In this tutorial we show how to ensure your form user will be able to enter just one record without setting "Enforce one entry per user" setting on a ConfiForms Form Definition macro

This is sometimes very handy, as you want to ensure that the enforcement rule works for some but not all

ConfiForms Rules for Field Definition macro is to the rescue!

We will have a form with just one field (for simplicity)

ConfiForms Form Definition

formName	f

confluence-administratorstrueINLINE

somefieldJust some field heretext

ownedBy:[entry.ownedBy] AND _count:>1 AND ! _user.userInSecurityGroup(confluence-administrators):falseSorry, you have already registeredValidation rule dataset

We will add a rule with the following settings

Condition is defined as follows:

Code Block
ownedBy:[entry.ownedBy] AND _count:>1 AND _user.userInSecurityGroup(confluence-administrators):false

We check for record ownership and see how many of these are already registered and we do it only if a user is not in the "confluence-administrators" security group (userInSecurityGroup is the function available in ConfiForms Virtual functions). _count is the context variable you can access from a context Accessing field values and properties#Additionalvaluesavailableinthecontext

Users who are not in the "confluence-administrators" user group will be allowed to enter only one record

Complete form looks like this

And when used by a non admin and there is an attempt to enter another record
