Disable Submit button on opening a new window
Hi,
Is there a way to disable the submit button/ grey out the parent screen on opening a URL in a window until that window is closed? Or is there an approach to launch an external website in another window/ pop up and grey out the parent window/ Submit button? Modal dialog did not work as I could not open the form on the external website and submit it.

Hi Apoorva,
Looking at the OOTB options for the auto-generated controls, I don't see anything that jumps out at me (which I'm sure is why you're asking ).
One thing I can think of to get you halfway there is adding an action to set a parameter that's evaluated by a disable when condition to disable it on the click that launches the window. Then it would be a matter of figuring out how to re-enable when you close the window for the external site.
If you use a parameter, a simple refresh section is all you would need to wipe out the parameter and enable the button.
Thanks.

Hi Brandon,
Thank you for the reply. We still have the issue open. Can you please tell us how to put the disable when condition on the menu bar?
Or any other way in which the whole form can be disabled while the window that launched the URL is open.
Thank you.

Would the "Hide the default action section buttons" feature on the actions tab of the flow action rule be of use here ? /Eric

A modal will work with the following (Dependent on the website allowing the content to be framed):
- As Eric Osman suggests, disable the action buttons on the Flow Action.
- Point to a section with non-auto generated HTML.
- In the HTML, specify an iframe with the tag sandbox="allow-forms" and source the location of your form.
- If using Content-Security, ensure the iframe source is added as an allowable source.
