Hey Guys,  
I have set my data entry form with some display conditions. In this  
case,some questions are asked when sex is chooses as "Female". During a  
specific entry,"Male" was erroneously chooses so the relevant questions  
were skipped. How do i edit this data within commcare becaues the edit form  
does not show the skipped questions.

Cheers,  
Dorcas

Dorcas,

Was the erroneous input inside the form or in a previous form which set a  
case value?

If the erroneous input was within the form, the form Display Conditions  
should update live and re-enable the questions once the input is corrected.

If the input was outside of the form and updated a case property, the best  
option is likely to create a form to update the case property and then  
archiving and re-entering the data into the original form.
