Question

How do I customize the edit template to look different than the default template? For example, I'd like to only display a few columns of information but when the edit link is clicked on for the DVWP, more columns show up and data is allowed to be typed. I'm not sure if this is possible, but would love to know/how to do it...

Cheers, Matt

Solution

Change the active template using the Smart Menu in SharePoint Designer to "Edit", and you'll be able to select your columns.

OTHER TIPS

In SharePoint Designer, create a copy of the Edit form. You can then modify the form with some jQuery to hide certain rows. You can then change the mappings for the list to point to your new edit form. You can edit the edit form directly, but that's not generally a best practice. You should always keep those OOTB files unchanged so you have them to reference or restore.
