Multiple Forms to One Table

Hi! I’m building an interactive course and I’m trying to understand how multiple forms can write data to one record instead of creating new ones.

I have a Class table with fields like Question 1, Question 2, Question 3, etc.

Throughout the lesson, I placed multiple single-question forms between content sections.

My goal:

When the same logged-in user answers each form, all answers should update one single row in the Class table.

What’s happening now:

Each form submission creates a new row, instead of updating the existing user’s record.

Is there a way to have multiple forms update the same record?

Do I need to connect the forms to a user record, record ID, or lookup field?

I’m a beginner, and would be satisfied if your answer included keywords or concepts I should research even if you don’t know the answer. That would help a lot. Thank you!

Perhaps here is an easier way to ask the question:
Can you have two forms go to the same record in a table? I want the data all on the same line.

Hi April

Today we discussed this via live chat, checking the possibility of that using the Run Custom Workflow action of the form, and updating the existing records with the Update Record action there.

If you have further questions, feel free to re-open our conversation there, and I’ll be glad to help.
