Maybe I'm missing something ....

Is there any reason you can't carry the entered items over as "original" fields? What I mean is, instead of passing values and creating hidden items and creating links to editing forms that rely on the hidden items .... , why not pass the values and create the same field (with the value entered)? I've seen this done all the time with shopping carts ... and this format allows the user to revise the field (or not).

As I said in the beginning, maybe there's something I'm missing?
