    Hello! Is it possible to use the Data Administration app to edit data that’s already in a table? When I try to set one up, it will let me add a new row to the table and input information that way. However, I cannot seem to get it to edit information that’s in an existing row.

    Hi @pmluther,

    Thanks for the post!

    It’s possible to edit a row in a Data Administration table. That’s always been a possibility.

    Could you send us a screenshot of your Actions column? It should have the eye, pencil and trash icon by default. See here: https://share.zight.com/8LuAYdPn

    You can also send us a message via Contact | WP Data Access if you want to send more information privately.

    We’ll wait for your email!

    Hi, Kim,

    Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately I do not have a pencil or trash icon, just the eye icon.

    Hi @pmluther,

    Thanks for the screenshot!

    Could you check in the Table Builder > Table > Row Actions if Allow Update and Allow Delete are enabled?

    See here: https://share.zight.com/YEu24J1x

    More information on row actions here: Row Actions | WP Data Access

    We’ll wait for your response!

    Hi, Kim,

    I’m using the new Data App builder for this table, so I am not seeing a Row Actions option. Is this only available through the old Table Builder?

    i am a user,. I had similar symptoms. My problem was the user trying to create the app did not have full administrator access. Check that.

    Hi @pmluther,

    The Data App type serves as a container for several apps, and each apps has a Table Builder for the options.

    Would it be possible to send us a message via Contact | WP Data Access? We might need to take a closer look. 🙏

    @charlesgodwin, could you also give us more information about the user role that sees this issue? Is it a custom user role?

    We’ll wait for your response!

    i can’t recall the specific app so I can’t test. But I happened recently. But I suspect it is related to our multisite WP site. Super admin role can do almost everything but hits the odd bump

    Hi, Kim,

    After more troubleshooting, I figured out that the issue was the tables I was trying to edit did not have a primary key set. Once I set the key, the editing options became available.

    Thank you!
