I read in a closed thread that there is supposed to be an edit button when I select an individual entry. I do not see one. I can make changes to the entries, but there is no way to save it? My role is administrator.

Hi,

To confirm, are you missing the “ **Update** ” button like the following screenshot?

Have you done the basic troubleshooting and confirmed the Gravity Forms are on the latest version?

Correct, no edit button. I don’t even have the dialogue box on the right side that you show. We are using GF 2.8.4. To add some clarification, another admin CAN edit entries, but I cannot, so it’s not an issue with the website settings, it’s something with my user side. However, we are both admins, so I don’t know why don’t have this feature and he does?

Is the gravityforms\_edit\_entries capability enabled via your user/role management system? Some capabilities are not always enabled by default, even for administrators.
