Set site-specific form deactivation message

When a form is deactivated, BBGM allows a message to be set that will show to any applicant trying to access an in-progress application. The text defaults to a standard message which you can then overwrite.


I think we should be able to set what that standard message is for our sites so that, in theory, we wouldn't need to amend it each time.

    Hi Vin - yes, that's the case. For example, we may want our standard message to read "This programme is no longer accepting applications. Please see our website at [URL] for details of our open programmes". Having that as the default would save us having to overwrite each time. Thanks for asking for clarification :)

    Thank you for the suggestion! Just wanted to clarify: Is the suggestion here that you would like to be able to set a "default" deactivation message in the Site Designer that affects all your new forms, instead of having to set the same message on each new form you create? (Thank you for taking the time to clarify, whenever you have a moment).
