Two suggestions for future updates

I love using FluentForms and the flexibility that it gives me. There are 2 features, however that drive me a bit bonkers and hope that they can be addressed or perhaps maybe with FluentCart it will solve itself.

I used FluentForm mostly to collect registrations for horse shows and clinics. I use both inventory feature and payment items.

For horse shows, oftentimes someone will submit their entry and then decide that they need to change a class. In other form tools that I've, I'm able to go to their entry and edit. With FluentForms I can edit some areas but not the payment items. It would be nice if I could update that.

For clinics, I use the inventory as I don't want to oversell. This works great, except for when someone decides to cancel. I haven't been able to figure out how to update the inventory to show space as now available. I've tried cancelling and deleting. I have to manually add one more to the inventory. This is unfortunate as it's no longer an automated process.

Those are just a couple of tweaks for me. But overall love all of the products.

I’m experiencing the same issue with the inventory. When someone cancels, you’d expect the submission to be removed and the inventory space to update automatically. However, the inventory doesn’t refresh on its own β€” you have to manually adjust the inventory field. This makes the inventory count inconsistent.

For example:

If I have space for 30 people and 2 cancel, I delete their submissions and manually add 2 spots back. The system then shows 32 available spots, even though the actual capacity is only 30. This becomes confusing and requires manual calculations every time someone cancels.
