"A prevalue source type can also implement edit capabilities so new items can be added/updated/deleted directly from the form editor" from the developer guide.

In  http://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-pro/contour/6180-Edit-data-from-front-end (a year old) Per PJ says "It is currently not possible to fetch contour records from memberKey, will add that to the feature suggestion list, as it's a good idea. If you know the record key however (you could save it on the member) you can retrieve the record and edit it through the api."

I think I just have to dive into it.

Hi Jonas,

You can place the renderform macro in edit mode, if you then supply it a record id you will be able to edit the record.

For deleting you'll need to build something custom (should be super simple).

Cheers,

Can this record Id be provided as a query string? If so, what is the format?

I've tried, ?recordGuid=

Hi everybody

Thanks for the tip Tim. Is it possible to load a record in a Contour form as Laurence asks from a query string or programmatically load any record into the form being rendered? If so can you provide a code snippet?

I'm trying to use Contour to render forms and capture data etc., but I'm using a data source instead of the built in Contour data storage, so I would like to just inject the data and capture it when it is being submitted. Is that possible?

Thanks a lot in advance :)
