the CREATE and UPDATE forms are separate forms - you will need to add the same fields to the UPDATE form that you added in the CREATE form. There is a checkbox when creating a new form field on the CREATE form to add the same field on the UPDATE form - however, it just creates the entry in the form - you will need to set it up to suit your needs.

Let me know if that helps.

aha so i need to go to the form designer for update section and recreate the same fields as i cant see the check box.

further in the form design for jrblog it says ontop

The following designer forms have not been setup yet for this module:

news/update

These forms will be initialized the first time they are viewed. It is recommended that you view all forms for this module before using the Form Designer.

what does this mean?

It means what the message says:

You need to visit the UPDATE form for a blog entry and the Form Designer will be initialized for that form view.

Let me know if that helps.
