Uplance - submitting proposal multiple times bug

Hi there,

I recently bought the Uplance template, and I believe it has a bug: it allows freelancers submit proposals (aka apply) for the same job multiple times. Does anyone have an idea how to fix it?

Issue:

  • When a freelancer submits a proposal, then the submit button text is replaced with text “withdraw proposal”. This is great and as intended
  • However, if the freelancer refreshes the page, then the template forgets the above and it can submit again

Root cause (just my thinking, I’m an early bubble user)

  • Uplance uses a custom state to define whether a freelancer already submitted a proposal. Custom state is forgotten when refreshed
  • I also see that there’s an attempt in the workflow to exclude users who submitted earlier (i.e. when “joboffers list doesnt contain freelancer”), however, I don’t think it works

I appreciate any help.

Hello, @daniel.nothig
Thanks for reaching out.

I’ve tested the mentioned flow and would like to notify you that the process of submitting the job will be finished only when the Freelancer will press these buttons:


After pressing the second button, the mentioned behavior will not be reproduced and the Freelancer will submit the offer.

Hope it will help you.
Best regards,
