Hello, this is my first post on this forum, please forgive me if I am not very clear.

I’m creating a library-based app for compiling a collection. I’ve created a data entry form for each collection item, but I’m having trouble with the ‘edit form’. I can’t seem to make the data modification form editable while still displaying the already saved data. I’m very close to finishing my test application, but without this functionality, my work is useless.

I watched the tutorial, and while it works perfectly in the video, it’s stuck for me; the ‘edit form’ option isn’t selectable. Do I need a paid subscription for this feature?

If you have any ideas, tips, or anything else, thank you in advance for your help!  
Have a good day!

Fabien

Hi @Fab,

Welcome to the community! 🎉

Is the current item data is available in the edit screen? (See this video recorded by @pford : [https://youtu.be/Qo9SnoyWAyU](https://youtu.be/Qo9SnoyWAyU) and check here too : [Trying to update collection from form but can only create new record - #2 by Dilon](https://forum.adalo.com/t/trying-to-update-collection-from-form-but-can-only-create-new-record/22209/2))

Thank you and have a great day!
