Is it possible to set editable fields?

Hi,

I have created a template with text fields, they are configure to bring data from a column in a database. Is there any way that I can update the text just typing on the field?

For example, I have a field with the description if I saw a misspelled word, and I want to correct it or add further information (doesn't need to get updated in database just in the displaying fields).

Thanks in advanced for your help.

Inputfield should work for you. Or Input Variable.

Whichever you prefer

Mind, though, that using inputfield will not change the data in the database, should this be what you want to do.

Can I have an example on how to use it?

I have a field called problem description, I need that this field bring the data from database and I am being able to update the values. That I can change, it's not necessary to go to the database to save it, but if it's possible will be good too.

Thank you for the example, but I need to set data. For example I have two columns, State and city

State             City

Florida           Miami

Florida           doral

Those columns come from database, but in case that I need to update one of them to display, how can I use the example of the input field?

In this example I should be able to Update from doral to Doral.

Please let me know.
