Return to existing record in form.
Is it possible to set up a form so that the user can return to a specific record (based on a lookup or navigation, etc.) and enter that record's values? In particular, I'd like to navigate to a record and add subform records referenced to it.

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.

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!
