Edit data from a form

HI, where is the option for editing a form submitted?

Hi Luis,

Unfortunately we don't allow you to edit a form that has already been
submitted. There are a few options:

  • You can use cases in your application (
    Case Management - CommCare Public - CommCare Public) and
    save anything you wanted edited to your case. You can then have a case
    Edit Form to edit that information. This will only work well if you have a
    limited number of questions you wanted edited
  • You can Archive a form (
    Log In - Dimagi Confluence) that
    has incorrect data and have the user re-submit it. Archived forms don't
    appear in any of your reports or data exports.

Thanks,
Sheel

Hi Sheel,

I found your answer a bit confusing, I only wanted to edit forms.

Hi Luis,

CommCareHQ doesn't support editing data sent by forms. I suggested some
ways to get around this limitation in my email you. Another option is to
manually edit the data once you've exported it to Excel for data analysis.

Thanks,
Sheel
