 * Hi, hopefully a simple one. I am looking for an example of how to build a custom“
   edit” form. The following works perfectly on my site:
 * [msdyncrm_twig]
    {% form entity=”contact” name=”WordPress Example Form” mode=”
   edit” record=currentrecord %}{% endform %} [/msdyncrm_twig]
 * But I need to customise it. I am using a custom “create” form elsewhere, but 
   using similar code I am unable to get it to work in “edit” mode.
 * [msdyncrm_twig]
    {% form entity=”contact” mode=”edit” record=currentrecord required
   =[“firstname”, “lastname”, “emailaddress1″] %} <form method=”POST”> <div class
   =”newsletter__form–field”> <label for=”firstname”>First name</label> <input name
   =”firstname” required=”” type=”text” /> </div> {% endform %} [/msdyncrm_twig]
 * If I try to access {{ record[‘firstname’].value }}, nothing happens.
 * Has anyone got any example code for a simple edit form? Thamk you.

 * Hi [@graham6117](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graham6117/)
 * firstly, does the form renders correctly with the existing values?
 * Secondly. can you elaborate on
 * > If I try to access {{ record[‘firstname’].value }}, nothing happens.
 * Trying to access where? On a bound page itself it should be `{{ currentrecord.
   firstname }}`.
 * Thanks
    George
