    Thanks for the reply. Though I note that in the app, draft records are still available to re-open...

    Hey Rob,

    The issue isn't necessarily draft vs complete but more about the opening of any record through a link or an action. Sounds like you're trying to load a particular record via URL is that correct? If so, is this URL within iForm, or is it intended to be from a browser, or is it something else like a scanned barcode?

    No, though that would be useful, it's not what I was looking for. If a user opens a form in the app, it would be nice to be able to return to and edit a previously-saved record. When you select a form in the app, and there are drafts, you're presented with a list and can re-open the drafts, but you cannot re-open previously-saved records.

    Got it. Just to make sure we're on the same page, does "previously-saved" = completed but not uploaded, completed and uploaded, or something else?

    Ah, I have just discovered the effect of the auto-sync and delete-on-update settings. I can now reopen saved items. 

    So yeah, I meant records that have been saved and uploaded, but I see now that I can prevent delete-on-upload, and have the records available for editing. This is good!

    Apparently, I cannot re-open saved records for editing, even if they are still on the device. This is less-good.
