Hi, I’m (totally) new to Fliplet and trying to build a very simple app. But how can I edit data (datasource = simple table within Fliplet). I could create a screen with list of records and clicking to show details of one record (=OK). But what if I want to change the data of one or more fields? And if I want to add a new record? I tried to add a form-component to a new screen, but in the form-component I can choose my datasource, BUT NOT the fields that have to be displayed (only new fields ?!) Thanks for helping. Wim ---

Hi Wim, Have you taken a look at the following how to guide: > **[How to edit your data source using the form component - Fliplet Knowledge Center](https://help.fliplet.com/edit-your-data-source-with-a-form-component/)** > > Use a form component to add or edit entries in the data source updating a list view for users ---

Hi Mel, thanks for the guide. I already looked at different “how-to-guides”, but missed this one. Wim
