Hi ,

I have a datcard that allows you to change the numbers within. However, it is now not letting me edit even when it is DisplayMode.Edit. This is happening on all of my datacards on this page.

Could you please help.

Thank you

If you select the form is it defaulted to new form, edit form or view form?

if no new form select new form 🙂

@LukeTahi

Thank you, your reply got me thinking and it was due to the fact the form wasnt set to "edit".

However, it was because for some reason, the if statement i had in there originally which was
"If(VarAdmin = "True", edit, view)" no longer worked. It was defaulting to view only even though VarAdmin was returning true. I changed the statement to:

If(VarAdmin, edit,view)

This resolved the problem. Thank you.
