Custom Edit() form

Is it possible to customise the fields available/visible for edit() form.

In other words, I just want to enable a single field for edit() form,, but allow all multiple fields for the create() form.

    Yes, two options:

    1. Possibly the easiest option is just to have a second Editor instance, set up with only the field you want for editing, and use that Editor instance for editing, the other for creation.
    2. Use events such as initCreate and initEdit combined with the API methods show() and hide() to show and hide the fields that you want for each action.

    Thank you Allan. Successfully, used the 1st option of having separate Editor instances.
