Jotform makes it easy to let users edit their submissions directly from your app. By using the Open Edit Form action with a List element connected to a Public Table, users can open and update existing entries with just a tap—no extra steps needed. This helps keep information accurate while giving users a smooth, seamless editing experience.
Note
- The table linked to the List Element must be a Public Table so users can access and edit submissions.
- Only a List element supports the Open Edit Form action. Without it, this feature won’t work.
To get started, you’ll just need to configure the List Element’s action in App Builder. Here’s how to do it:
- In App Builder, select the List Element field and click on Gear icon.
- Then, in the List Properties menu that opens on the right side of the page, under the Action tab, click on When User Click List Items Dropdown menu and select Open Edit Screen.
- Next, in the Edit Screen Type section, choose how you want the edit screen to appear on the screen:
- Overlay — Opens the edit form in a new window over the current screen.
- Full Page — Opens the edit form in a full-page view.
- Finally, in the Click Indicator section, select how users know the item is clickable, and you’re done:
- Icon — Shows a small icon next to the item to indicate it can be clicked.
- Button — Displays a button for users to click to edit the item.
- None — No visual cue is shown. Users can still click the item if they know it’s editable.
That’s it! Once you’ve set up the List element’s action, your users can easily open and edit their submissions right from your app—keeping data accurate and up to date without any extra steps.
