Hi – I'm stuck so any advice would be gratefully received :)

What I am trying to do is to have a form through which users can add multiple books so for example user visits form and adds "My Funky Book Title" and "Details about My Book".

Users can then view details of books they have submitted via the form. For this I've set up a custom display which lists details of any forms they have submitted.

I've set this form to be dynamic with the content listing the forms submitted and the dynamic content showing links to further details about each submission.

All of this works fine.

I've set the forms to allow users to edit their forms when logged in. The problem is that I can't find anyway so that users can get back to the form with their entries displayed so they can edit. I'm guessing this is because the form is set for them to add multiple entries and so it makes sense that the main form is blank for them to submit further entries – but how do I set it so they can also edit previously submitted forms?

I tried with the [editlink] but then realised that only allows an admin to edit so no good.

I'm sure there's a way to get this set up but I suspect I'm going about it the wrong way so any guidance is welcome.

Eventually my hope is to set up a 'dashboard' from which a user can see forms they have submitted and some indicator of progress they have made completing each section of each form submitted (and with the option of editing each of those forms).

Please help!!

You can do this two ways, but the more easily customizable is just to replace [editlink] with the url to edit the form. Please take a look at this post for more details on this link.
