Allow Users to Edit Previous Entries

Single Entry

If user has previously submitted the form, it will be populated with their submitted responses.

1. Go to “Formidable” -> “Forms” -> “Edit” (click the form title).
2. Click on the “Settings” button at the top of the page and go to the “General”
3. Optionally check the “Only logged-in users can see and submit form if used in a page or post” box.
4. Check the “Allow Logged-in Users to Edit Previous Responses” box.
5. Check the “Allow Only One Entry for Each” box and select “Logged-in User” from the drop-down.
6. That’s it! Now when a user returns to previously submitted form, they will be presented with your form already populated with their responses. When they update this form, they will be editing the previous response instead of creating a new one.

Multiple Entries

Form will be blank for a new entry, with a selection list to populate the form with stored data.

1. Follow Steps 1-4 above.
2. To add a list of the previously submitted entries, insert the following shortcode on the same page or post as your form: [frm-entry-links id=x] . This will default to a list of entry creation dates linking to each entry. For customization of the entry list, see how to add a List of Entries to a Page

Add an Edit Link

Use the [ frm-entry-edit-link ] on a page, or the [editlink] shortcode inside a custom display to insert a link to edit the entry that is now editable.

Editing Imported Entries

If you want users to be able to edit entries that were imported by a different user (e.g. Site Administrator) you need to either edit the wp_frm_items table and assign the correct WordPress user_id to the user_id and updated_by columns, or go through and edit each entry and select the correct user from the users drop-down.
