 * Is there a action hook which we can use to check the submitted values and based
   on some conditions(radio values) we decide either to save the submission in DB
   or skip. It should also skip storing the uploaded files.

 * Hi [@shahmanish877](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shahmanish877/) ,
 * I hope you’re doing well.
 * The logic part might require custom development, but I’ve asked the developers
   to confirm if there is any hook that could achieve this.
 * We’ll update you here once there is news from them.
 * Best Regards,

 * Hi [@shahmanish877](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shahmanish877/) ,
 * We got further updates from the developers, and they confirmed that there is 
   no specific hook to prevent the form submission, but a workaround is to delete
   the submission using your conditions with the hooks:
 * forminator_form_after_handle_submit
 * forminator_form_after_save_entry
 * Note that if you need further help with the code, it will be outside the scope
   of support we can provide. For that, you’ll need to hire a developer to provide
   the required custom code for you. WordPress provides a jobs directory here [https://jobs.wordpress.net/](https://jobs.wordpress.net/),
   if you need further advice about it, feel free to email `wpsupport@incsub.com`.
