Hi All,

I would like to edit form data for a case that was not created. I can see  
this form in the Submit History Report but for some reason, I the \*'Edit  
Form' \*feature is not available. This form has erroneous data that is  
affecting my reports. I wonder if there is a possibility of editing a form  
that never created a case.

Thanks,  
James

Hi James,  
You should be able to edit a form using the Submit History Report.

If you find the form you want to edit and click "view form" you should be  
able to edit the form on the screen it brings you to.  
If this is not happening, would you be able to report an issue?

Thanks,  
Robin Selwitz
