Hello,
I made some forms allowing user to input some data (like "contact information" by example) and I would like to give to the users the possibility to modify/update these information.
I'm working on that point since few days and I'm still not able to perform it. Does anybody have a solution to do so ?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Collected data is not suited for modification. It is just for gathering information. If your users need to modify their contact information then the easiest way is to make a link to edit their user object (user class needs to be modified to meet the needs).
How to make link to user object you can find in design/standard/templates/user/ folder. There are few templates covering these functionalities.

Thank you for your prompt reply. This helped me a lot to move forward !!!
Now, I succeed to give the possibility to a user to modify a given object.
Nevertheless, I have now another difficulty about that. I don't know how to populate the edit template with the relevant data. Beside this, looking at the code of the edit template, I don't understand the variables that are used into it and, as a consequence, I don't understand how to manipulate them (moreover I was not able to find documentation about it).
Any ideas about that ?

Hello, I did finally find a way to achieve my objective by using "roles and policies" functionnality and allowing user to create/edit/remove their own object.Thank you for your help on this.
