Hi Aningbo,
Sure, no problem. This is actually controlled by the View. Just edit the View that you're using for the Submission Accounts (often, you might find you want to create a separate View so any changes you make will only affect that module). In that View, go to the Edit View -> Fields tab and uncheck the "editable" column for the email field.
Then, when the user logs in, they'll only see the email field and not be able to edit it.
That's weird! How was the form added? Through the Add Form process? That should have identified all your form fields and assigned the appropriate types.
But no matter, you can always edit the types now.
1. On the Edit Form -> Fields tab, change the field types for each field to map the original fields in your form and click "Update" at the bottom of the page.
2. For the radio button, checkbox & dropdown fields, click the appropriate edit icon. That will open a dialog where you edit all the aspects of the form field.
3. In the dialog, click on the second tab, and for the "Option List / Contents" row, click "Create Option List >>". That will take you to a page where you define the list of contents in the radio buttons group ("Yes" / "No").
Once all that's done, the Submission Accounts form will contain all the right fields.
Hope this helps!

Quote:Also, i have checkboxes with "Yes/No" options in the actual form. how do i retain this checkboxes in the "Submission Accounts" module? All the fields have been auto converted to "text" field by default.
