Hey James,
Not a stupid question at all!
I ended up dropping the View option altogether since it seemed like one extra step to editing the data. But you *can* emulate very similar behaviour by doing this:
1. On the Edit Form -> Views tab, make a duplicate of the default "All submissions" View, call it "Editable Submissions" or something.
2. Return to the default "All Submissions" View and edit it. One the Fields sub-tab, uncheck all the "Editable" checkboxes.
Now, when people log in, they'll be defaulted to the All Submissions View, like before, except now the data is only visible - not editable - when they click on EDIT. On that page, to make it editable, they can switch Views to the "Editable Submissions" View.
Hope this makes sense! All the best -
Ben
