Accessing a custom edit form AND the regular edit form for the same list

    I have a list whose items must be updated by 2 different groups- technicians and approvers.

    The technicians do a status update first, then the approvers. Each list item has about 10 fields but the technicians will only be updating the one status field, and cannot have access to edit the other fields.

    I created an edit form (EditForm2.aspx) and associated it with the list (in SPD, via list properties- supported files) to allow the technicians their limited view. Only the Title firld (with no link to edit the item) and the status field appear in this form.

    However, now my approvers can't see the fields THEY need to edit, because every edit option takes you to the custom edit form.

    The approvers don't need a custom view, they can use the regular editform.aspx view. But I can't get to it.

    Is there any way to allow for both scenarios?

  2. Nancy: You should use only one form.

    Laura wrote a post about that:

    There are also some other alternatives, let me know if the above does not work.

  3. You can also use content types in this scenario, for the different views of the form. Each content type can have different fields, and also can have different required fields.
