An additional desideratum that I’ve never seen anyone do: make it possible to submit a basic version within the allotted time and later go back and edit. I usually leave a lot of detailed feedback in free text boxes, but as a result I take much longer to fill out surveys than event organizers allot for, and this means that I often lose track of my plans and don’t end up submitting.
oh yeah that would be cool. I actually kind of hate allotted time at events for filling out feedback forms because I actually love giving a lot of detailed free text feedback and don’t want to be doing that on my phone on a time limit, but yeah doing a quick version first would probably work.
(though another reason I don’t like filling out feedback forms while I’m still at the event is that while I’m at the event I want to be in “enjoying the event” mode, not in “judging the event” mode, especially if some of the feedback I want to give is socially sensitive)
I think google forms with response editing on and custom instructions given in the form to first submit quickly and then edit later is the best available option here (and good enough that it’s better to do than not), but I’d love something better that actually just saved as you went along in a user-friendly way.
(GuidedTrack saves progress for partially-completed surveys, but the UI makes it hard to go back over earlier questions smoothly, and I think overall it’s worse than google forms for this use case.)

I have not seen a form website/software that allows for this. Interested to hear about one if anyone knows.

Airtable also allows this but requires people to have an Airtable account, IIRC.
