So I created a test entry.
And I attempted to edit and update it …
But when i click on the button to perform the ‘submit’ action …
Nothing happens.
Do i have the settings wrong?
Is there a different way to save/update the new data entered?

Doing a quick check on the site, it seems that the save operation actually is trying to work (the form submission), but I get rejected due to permissions.
You can see that in developer tools in the console like so -
If you want the form to only allow saving for site members, select the members permission.
If you want the form to only allow saving for the same site member who has created the data item in the database, select the author permission.
Correct, I am the site member that created the entry and my settings are set to ‘member who created can edit’ …but nothing happens. No save, no redirect after submit.
Nayeli, can you verify if there are any messages in the dev tools console?
I suspect there is a validation issue (form validation, some field that is required but empty) that causes the form to not submit. If this is indeed the issue, we should see a message in the browser console like
save operation failed: DatasetError: Some of the elements validation failed
To see the browser console, you need to tap into the browser developer tools.
On Chrome, you can open dev tools using the keyboard shortcut alt+command+j
On Safari, you can open the Web Inspector using the keyboard shortcut command+option+i, but you have to enable the “Show Develop menu in menu bar” setting found in Safari’s preferences under the Advanced pane.
No message, but I just attempted to edit again … and Submit worked. It saved an extra check mark I added. It didn’t do that before. I will keep testing and checking error messages on dev tools. Thank you.
@Yoav (Wix) I got the error:
save operation failed: DatasetError: Some of the elements validation failed
I tried the read write anyone etc… scenarios with no success.

OK got it to work … I had one field that was “required” that I wasn’t filling out on the test. Now the upload documents don’t actually upload DOH!
Hi M,
Can you please share a link to your site and specify the name of the page so we can inspect?
