    Empty data when editing submissions through Edit Link

    Asked by ztwersky on August 31, 2014 at 02:10 PM
    When I click on "edit submission" an empty form opens. This is not what "edit" should be doing. I need the "edit" link to show me all of your entries and them allow me to edit it. I shouldn't have to fill in a whole new form. Is this a bug?

    Please tell us which of your form you encountered this.

    I already checked 2 of your forms that have existing submission. When I did the edit submission, I can see the form with data on it and can be edited.

    I was not able to reproduced at the moment the mentioned issue.

    If possible please share to us a screenshot on how it looks on your end so we can determine the differences.

    Thanks.

    It's actually working now but there is no "save" button to save edited submission.

    And when you click PDF after editing, the PDF file only says invalid link. So how do you save the edit?

    You have to re-submit the form in order to save the changes. Your issue with the PDF button is moved here: http://www.jotform.com/answers/423074

    Thank you!
