Using Express Forms for Performing Updates
Permalink
Can an Express Form be used to retrieve data in order to edit the data and then save the data?
I think I have searched and read all the Express Form docs and related forum entries and can't find any documentation on whether or not it is possible to populate an existing Express Form with an existing record from the Express Object in order to change one or more attributes values on the form and then when I press Submit to have that record updated back to the Express Object. Does this ability exist? If not, is it being considered for a future version of concrete5?
Clearly this functionality is being accomplished in the Dashboard | Express | <Selected Express Object> | <Click on a record> | <Click on Edit button> | <make changes> | <click on Save> But it does not appear to be using an actual Express Form.
