Able to edit form entry.

[kailor]

It would be great if we can be able to edit the form entries, if a mistake has written (instead of deleting the whole form entry and rewrite it from the beginning.)

That for one of my website which we use big forms as databases would be great because some times we make mistakes or we need to put more details that are given to us later. Now we need to delete the form entry and write a new one from the beginning which take us a lot of time.

Hi @kailor Do you mean the form entry you or your customers would submit from the live site? 

[kailor]

Yes i mean the form entry.

for example if i have a registration form and a customer put his name, phone, etc. But for example next month he changes the phone, as admins we can't change his form entry. The only thing we can is to delete it and resubmit from the beginning.

Or in one organization we use the forms to collect data for some projects (i.e. sharks), which we put any new recording of appearance of shark, but if in the future we have more data we need to remove the form entry and fill the form again from the beginning.

Also for GDPR we must be able to edit the data if someone user asks to remove or edit his/her data.

i hope i gave enough information what i mean about form entry.

Do you export the data via csv file? If you upload into something like Google Sheets you would be able to edit that information. 

You can also submit a feature request regarding the ability to edit the form results here: https://community.weebly.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/IdeaExchange/search-before-post-mode/true

If someone is asking you to delete their information you can do so by clicking on the box from the Form Entries page and then hitting delete.

Yes, but it is not the same.
Because if you export to csv file and edit something it's ok for that moment only.

But what if you need to export again in some days or weeks??? Then you must try to find which information you had edit and do it again from the beginning.

I will submit a feature request.

We would like this feature too.
