Edit Record Widget

Edit this page on GitHub
Allows the user to create or edit a single record of an Entity or a Structure.
The layout of the Edit Record widget is implemented in a tabular way, which limits the organization of the inputs and its captions. The Form widget implements the same functionality with a more flexible layout.
Use the Form widget instead of the Edit Record widget to create or edit a single record of an Entity or a Structure.
