Hello! Im a new Adalo user and i have the following problem:

I have 2 collections, one is the User Login Collection and then ive made a new one, were users can add a Service to their profile.

Letting Users add a service via a Form is no problem, but i want them to be able to edit the entries afterwards. With the Users Database this was no problem. I could add a input field, connect it to the users Database and tell it to Update the record. With my second Database i cant seem to do this. I can only Add to the database. Is this because i am running the free trial?

As you can see, the option to Update the Record doesnt show up…

Thanks for your help!

Hi @EyanLimi,

Welcome to the community 🥳

You need the current dienstleistungen data in the screen where you add the update form.

You can have a screen before that edit screen and in that screen you can add a list and link the list item to the edit form screen and then you should see a option in the dropdown to select update in the form.
