How to edit and save updated record from the database

ilansch 20 Aug, 2020
Hello,

I'm using CF6 and I have a long form (lot's of fields) and want to be able to edit the saved records.

I tried to follow the following howto:

https://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/60-cfv4/cfv4-working-with-the-database/2674-how-can-i-edit-a-record-from-a-database-table.html

It seems to explain that you basically create a copy of your form, setup a read data action correctly and you can with it update existing records.

The problem is that from CF4 to CF6 there are too many differences on the read data action and I can't figure out what corresponds to what.

- Has someone been able to set this up in CF6 that could "translate" that howto to CF6 jargon?

- Does each field in the form need to be updated to read it's corresponding value from the database or somehow it happens "automatically"?

Thanks in advance.
