Updating an Entry from a Child View

Labels

This Discussion is public

Hello,

I know it is possible to update an entry from a view with this:

[frm-entry-update-field id=id field_id=444 value="RETURNED" label="✗" message="✔"]

But I have created a 'child' view of a repeating section only, and the code above does not display any links that I can click to update the entry.

I tried to 'Allow Frontend Editing' but that option cannot be accessed for the child Form (repeating Section). Any leads on how to make this work?

Thanks.

I forgot to mention this.

The entries that I am trying to update can be updated if created by manually filling the form. But entries that were uploaded from a csv into the child form do not show the update link.

It sounds like your using nested views. You'd have to have the update code in the child view to be able to change that data. If you only have it in the parent, it would not work.

No, it's a simple view, not nested. Didn't manage to fix it. Had to use an alternative method to get the result I wanted. Thanks for the suggestion though.
