How to edit email address in leads?

[marcielo]

I use SugarCRM 5.5.4 CE

I have web-to-lead-form with the default sugar email address. But I already experienced that some people enter the wrong email address. But I'm not able to edit the email address in the leads module (?). I tried to see if I could change this in studio-->leads-->layout-->edit view. But the field does not show up. There is off course a workaround and that would be to reenter the form information with the right email address.

I tried searching through the forum, but nobody seems to have this issue. Does anybody know how to solve this issue?

Ok I think I figured out the problem.
I noticed in a testsite with sugarcrm that if you in the layout of the edit view trash the 'email address' field, this same field will disappear from the toolbox, this is where you have all the fields you can insert to the edit view. Now it's easy to fix, by restoring the 'edit view' the 'email address' field will then reappear.
But when I tried doing the same for the live site this was not the case . So somehow I need to do this manually in the code or...? What should I do?

I found the solution here:

Hope this can become handy for some lost soul
