Hi Jamal,
Can I give you my login details so we can work on the solution you provided in ticket #2215579

Honestly, a view is not really required in this case, but it may be convenient. Keep in mind these 3 assumptions:
- A view is meant to query and display a list of posts.
- A form is meant to create or edit ONE post.
- A content template is meant to display ONE post. It can be assigned to a custom post type, and display its single post pages, or it can be used inside a view or another content template.
This being said, an edit form to update the post's field(Yes, No, Maybe) is required. You can use it in the post's content template, and in this case, you will have to visit each post in order to use the form.
Or you can use it inside the loop of the view that query posts, this way, you will have a form for each post that the view returns.
Does it make sense?

Hello,

You just need to setup a post form for editing "Entries" post
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/front-end-forms-for-editing-content/
and display in the single "Entries" post content template
And you can setup the access to above editing post form by following our document:

Please let me know if you need more assistance for it.
It looks like they have to go to a separate edit page to do this.
They will be reviewing 500 entries, so I was hoping to add the edit form to the bottom of the post so they can just tick and continue to the next post. Is that possible?
You can display the editing post form in the same page/post, I have setup a demo in your website:
1) Create post form for editing "Entries" post: Edit entry post form
hidden link
2) Edit the content template "Template for Entries 1"
hidden link
At the page bottom, display:
1) above post form "Edit entry post form", option "Post to edit" choose: The current post
2) Next + previous post links:
[wpv-post-next-link] | [wpv-post-previous-link]
So the editors can just click Next + previous post links to continue editing other posts
Thanks Luo Yang. You have been very helpful. I think I will be okay now.
