Submissions Element Field Type

LitePro

Freeform includes a Freeform Submissions field type (and Freeform Form), which allows you to assign/relate submissions to other element types such as Craft Entries.

Overview

When pairing the Freeform Submissions field type with the Relations feature, Freeform can do extraordinary things like become a tool that let's your users comment on entries, submit ratings and reviews for Commerce products and more! The Relations feature essentially allows you to feed another Craft Element ID to the form that is attached to the submission(s), and the Freeform submission then becomes attached to the other element the same way an Asset does, etc.

Creating a Freeform Submissions field is done just like any other field type, here's an overview of the process:

1

Go to the Settings area in Craft control panel. Click on Fields.

Click the New field button in the top right corner.
