How do I update a record, as opposed to inserting a new record, from the edit button on interactive

STM_TEM DeveloperDec 23 2015 — edited Dec 28 2015

In my Oracle Apex application, I have one one page that is an interactive report to a table called candidates and another page that is a DML form where I can insert records into the same table, candidates. On the interactive report page, there is an "edit" link in the first column. When I click it, I expect it to go to the DML form specifically on the record I clicked to edit, fill-in the fields to present what the record contains currently, and present me options to update or delete the record, as it does correctly in another part of my application. Contrary to my expectations, the edit button takes me to the DML form with the primary key filled-in, indicating it is focused on the record I clicked, but without the fields filled in with the current information and without buttons to update or delete the record, despite these buttons being activated within the developer environment.

How can I make it so when I click the edit button and am redirected to the DML form, it gives me the option to update or delete the current record, as opposed to inserting a new record?
