Allow Edit

 

All question types. But not recommended

 

If you had checked ‘Allow Data Edit’ when configuring the process, you can decide whether the user can edit this field after the original submission.  Saying: ‘Always’ will allow users to modify the submissions any time whereas ‘Till first entry’ will only allow them to come back and submit an empty field later.  For this to work, the given question would need to be non mandatory.

PS – Allowing edit is not recommended as it impacts data integrity
