Hello I have successfully got to this stage of setting up the edit link button however there is no prompt to select EMAIL .... it only says
Your form doesn't have any appropriate fields to add.
5. Now, click on Fields then select your form’s email field to use as the recipient address. Or, specify the email address in the Recipient Addresses field.
can you please help me so i can send our artists their submissions to edit
thank you
