Hello:
I hope everyone is well. This feature is great and works perfectly:
https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/user-registration/#kb-admin-approval-before-account-creation
But it only works for me if I edit the "status" field from the "entries" menu (backend). However when I try from a view (frontend) it doesn't work for me. I have used this:
https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/set-up-front-end-editing/#kb-set-up-edit-in-place-with-a-table-view
That is, when I update the "status" field from entries in the backend the user registration is processed successfully, but when I edit the same field from a view in the frontend the user is not registered.
I must be missing something (permissions, hook, etc). This is possible? Could you give me some advice on how to solve it please.
Thanks.

You are correct, you are missing something. Front end editing doesn't trigger form actions because it does a direct write to the database with Ajax. Anything you want to do in an automated fashion with front end editing, you have to do with custom code and Formidable hooks. This article may not be exactly what you want to accomplish but it will point you in the right direction. https://formidable-masterminds.com/change-wordpress-user-role-when-editing-field-in-a-view/
