Jotform Tables simplify the process of editing form submissions, making it easy to update information, correct any errors, or refine details as needed. This flexibility helps you keep data accurate and current, ensuring reliable records that reflect the latest information.
There are two methods for editing submissions on the Jotform Tables, and you can find details about each method below.
Performing Inline Edit to Entries
Inline editing lets you change values directly on the table without needing a separate form or window. This quick method is perfect for immediate updates, as it doesn’t trigger any after-submission actions like email notifications, integrations, or workflows.
Notes
You can use options like Add and Delete buttons for Single Choice and Multiple Choice fields, Upload and Trash buttons for File Upload fields, a calendar pop-up for Date fields, and First and Last Name fields for Full Name fields to perform inline updates on selections and answers in those types of fields in Jotform Tables.
Follow these steps to start editing right on the table:
- In Jotform Tables, click on a cell of an entry then type or click it again to start editing its data.
- Click anywhere outside that cell or press Enter on your keyboard to automatically save your changes.
Pro Tip
Right after making an inline update, you can press CTRL+Z to undo it as long as you haven’t closed Jotform Tables.
Did you know?
You can also allow form respondents to update their submissions by sending them the edit link to their submissions. See How to Request Submission Updates in Jotform Tables to learn more.
Editing and Resubmitting Entries
To update submission data and trigger your form’s after-submission actions after doing so, open the entry with data submitted previously in edit mode within Jotform Tables and resubmit the form after making your changes. This resubmission will trigger workflows, email alerts, and integration processes, including any updates you made during the resubmission. Follow these steps to edit an entry:
- In Jotform Tables, hover your mouse over an entry and click on the Three Dots icon on its left, next to the Star icon.
- Then, click on Edit Entry in the menu.
- In the Edit Entry screen, update the submission and click on the Submit button on the form to save your changes. Click on the Close button in the top-right corner to cancel updating it.
Pro Tip
- You can press Esc on your keyboard to cancel an inline edit or stop updating a submission on the Edit Entry screen.
- You can right-click any cell in a row to open the same menu that has the Edit Entry option.

Some of our campers are just now turning in their Dr. health care forms and I can upload it, but it will not save. Parents have signed authorization and consent for treatments, but because they cannot get into dr. appts right away, they are turning them in after registering for camp. Jotforms says it cannot edit signed forms. Is there a way around this?

When I review submission, the "EDIT" formatted version is the only version I want to save. The 'print', 'download', and 'PDF' versions are different. But I do not see a way to SAVE the EDIT version.
How can the EDIT view be saved or printed?

Is there a way to send an edit form link to the person (Customer) who filled out the form (completed, NOT an incompleted submission) so they can go back and made edits, without also having access to other submissions that were not done by them?...

Hi my 2 Oct entry did not want to integrate with my Google Sheets - even if I do "edit entry" and resubmit and does not want to write to my Google Sheet. Can this be fixed please?...

Can another person edit the form after submission via approval flows and NOT from the submission table? I only want them to have access to the current form that was submitted, not the whole table.

From a product perspective, it doesn't make sense that as an Admin user, I can build a form with hidden fields, see the hidden fields on the submission table, view the hidden fields in the "view entry" mode, but then when you use "edit entry" from the same admin, the hidden fields remain hidden.
It is really frustrating and literally causes us to spend as much time providing required edits to the hidden fields as Jotform saves us in the first place.
Please expedite a product enhancement to at least offer some sort of option to either hide or show hidden fields.
From the user perspective, to have the fields remain hidden, when they DO NOT remain hidden in any other aspect of the Admin is incredibly short-sighted.
Thanks.

You should add the ability to edit the form in the mobile app. Not sure why this is an issue...

I can't seem to edit fields directly in the submission table for autocomplete address widget fields. When I change one of the multiple field values (I was changing the state), it doesn't save the change. I don't really want to re-submit the entry, just change the data on the table directly.
