    Why it isn't saving the fields, just because I want to edit the submission.!

    I am not sure if I understand your query correctly. Do you mean to say that the edit submission is not working after deleting some fields on your form? I have tested the edit submission after deleting a field in my test form and I was able to edit the submission without any issue. 

    Could you try logging into a different browser or a private/incognito window and see if that works? If you are referring to something different, please let us know. We will be happy to assist.

    Thank you for the clarification. I am currently doing some tests with a cloned version of your form. I will let you know the results once I am done testing. Regards.

    After further tests, I discovered that the "Hint Example" is affecting the encrypted text areas on your form. This is the reason why the text area appears blank during edit.

    If the text area has a "Hint Example" then the Text Area will  appear empty when editing the submission.

    But after removing the "Hint Example" in the Text Area, I was now able to see the data in the Text Area when editing the submission.

    To resolve the issue on your form, I would suggest removing the Hint Example in the Text Areas of your form.
