<p>This this might be a bug but want to ask here first in case I'm missing something minor.</p>

<h3>Description</h3>

<p>Trying to front edit a Sprout Form entry that was created in the front end. I'm using the same form code with additional <code>&lt;input type="hidden" name="entryId" value="###"&gt;</code> field. But it doesn't save the entry, it creates a new entry.</p>

<p>I compared my form fields with plugin backend and think I have everything I need:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;input type="hidden" name="action" value="sprout-forms/entries/save-entry"&gt;
&lt;input type="hidden" name="handle" value="handle_name"&gt;
&lt;input type="hidden" name="entryId" value="275"&gt;
</code></pre>

<h3>Steps to reproduce</h3>

<ol>
<li>Create form entry</li>
<li>Edit in front end</li>
<li>Submit form</li>
<li>Original entry is unchanged and there's a new entry</li>
</ol>

<h3>Additional info</h3>

<ul>
<li>Craft version: Craft CMS 3.0.18</li>
<li>PHP version: 7.2.1</li>
<li>Database driver &amp; version: MySQL 5.6.34</li>
<li>Plugins &amp; versions: Sprout Forms 3.0.0-beta.20</li>
