Hello all, I am brand new in Adalo, so please enlighten me!!!
I have a Daily Reports collection and I want to add an Edit option.
When I open the edit screen, I want the existing values to be prefilled and be able to change them using dropdowns.
I don’t want to create a new record — I want to update the existing one.
How can I set up an edit form with dropdowns that show the current values by default in Adalo?
Hi @Kostis,
Welcome to the community! 
You have a custom form or a built-in form? Does the record data to be edited is available in the screen? If it is, you can select update option in the built-in form or populate the saved values from magic text if it’s a custom form. Would you be able to include some screenshots of your setup or a screen recording?
Thank you and have a great day!
Hey @Kostis, Welcome to the Community 
In order to edit an existing record with prefilled dropdowns, please check the following steps:
If you’re using the built-in form:
On the edit button of the form: Add an (Update Current Collection) action.
Make sure the screen has the current record data linked to it. You can check in the (Available data) section in the screen’s parameters.
In the built-in form, dropdowns auto-prefill with the current record’s values.
If you’re using a custom form:
On the form screen, add dropdowns, and select the (Default Value) = Current Collection > Specific relationship.
Make sure the screen has the current record data linked to it. You can check in the (Available data) section in the screen’s parameters.
On submit button: Add this Action (Update Current Collection).
Test it and let me know how it goes.
