    A great feature addon would be the ability to verify any entry fields edit by user. So for example, user a, who has filled out form a, logs in and edits it. Not, in entry field a, he edits it and puts in entry field b.

    As the site admin I would like to be notified of such a change and have the option to Verify prior to the entry field being changed in the back end. Alternatively, if an email can be sent out that could show the previous entry field value and the new entry field value. Both options would work.

    With this feature in place, admin users can use stickly lists not just to show gravity forms on the front end, but also manage their forms while still providing editing option to users.

    Please let me know your thoughts.

    I apologize for the spelling errors in my initial posting. Essentially, after a field is edited by a user, I would like to be able to approve any changes made. This would require me to see the previous field value and the new field value.

    With this feature in place, it prevents users from editing form fields and putting in the wrong information. Without having some sort of control over this, it might create some problems for the admin.

    Does this make sense?

    Yes, this can be achieved buy using the “duplicate” functionallity in combination with the filter_entries filter.

    Enable duplication and set the action text to “edit”. Set up a notification. In your form you make sure to have a hidden field with status (approved/waiting/rejected for example). Using the filter_entries filter you only show entries that have been approved.

    When a user clicks your faux edit link he is in fact duplicating the entry but it won’t show up in the list untill an admin has changed its status to approved.
