ForumsCategory: How-toShow Form with Entries on Front-End
Peter Cuber asked 8 months ago

Hi, I'm wondering if there's any way to show a form on the front-end along with its entries. I would like to display, for example, Form ID=1 with entry ID=73. The idea is that I would like to put the form into the User Area section, where the user could change previously entered data directly in the form. I'm aware of the options with the Edit link (https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/set-up-front-end-editing/). My point is to be able to display the Form directly with Entries (selected by ID), without this extra 'click to edit' step. Thank you.

I don't see why you can't set up a page and have the left side of the page be the form and the right side be a view that shows whatever you want.

Hi Rob,
Thank you for your suggestion. The idea is to place the form within the User Area section, allowing users to modify previously entered data directly within the form. Therefore, I would like to maintain the exact design of the original form and populate it with entries we can select by ID (since one user can submit several queries via the same form, we need to identify which data to display). Essentially, we want to visually represent the form with the identified entries. Nothing more than that. I'm wondering if something like this would be possible.

Interesting. The only thing I can think of is to make the form part of your screen an iFrame and once you click on an entry in your list, you reload the iframe with the page that contains the form (the editable version of the form). I've never tried that, so I'm just guessing at this point.
