Create a combination single record update and submission datapage
I would like to see a feature that essentially allows for one form to be both a single record update and submission datapage simultaneously. The practical use for this type of datapage would be edit an existing record based on a unique ID and if it does not exist, create it.
For customer (and even employee) facing applications, simplicity is key. One datapage that would look up to see if they have a record in a particular table to allow them to edit its contents and if not create one would be quite useful. I imagine other caspio users could find plenty of other unique ways in which this could be helpful.

I love this idea too, especially considering that the accounts are set up by how many datapage you need to use. I would also like to see the system automatically generate logout and reset password links, since they're so important to work flows and to end users.

I did a work around on this by embedding the submission page into the footer of the update page and passing the parameters from the search fields into the submission fields.
