<p>Correct. It currently only allows for creating new entries, not editing existing ones.</p>

Well, good to know that I'm not crazy. Was banging my head against the keyboard for a little bit.

Any way for someone like me to modify it? I'm not very familiar with Craft plugin dev. Would creating a plugin & using `guestEntries.beforeSave` be the right direction to go?

<p>I'm trying to use <code>&lt;input type="hidden" name="entryId" value="{{entry.id}}"&gt;</code> on a GuestEntries form. However, instead of editing the entry with the set ID, it creates a new post. </p>

<p>Am I missing something? Or is this not possible with the GuestEntries plugin. </p>

I'm trying to use  on a GuestEntries form. However, instead of editing the entry with the set ID, it creates a new post.

Am I missing something? Or is this not possible with the GuestEntries plugin.
