Dataform 1.0.4i should be available at moodle-mod_dataform.

Adjusted Dataform_view block should be available at block-dataform_view.

And of course, the entries may be locked for the users in various ways. Here I set the editing time limit of an entry to 1 minute after which a user who is not a manager cannot edit or delete it. (The lock is internal, not just hiding the entry action buttons, so it cannot be worked around by direct urls).

I think I've disabled the import in 1.0.4. It is completely refactored  in 1.0.5. But I'll try to push into git later tonight an interim version, 1.0.4i, with author editing. Here is how it's going to look:

First, the default template of a block or tabular view adds a 'Add a new entry' link. if you replace in the template the ##addnewentry## tag with ##addnewentries## you would be able to add multiple new entries in one go. The following illustration assumes the latter tag and that the dataform is set to separate participants.

This opens two new entries for editing. In the author's name column the template uses a ##Author:edit## tag which allows a manager to select the author of the entry:

Upon saving, the manager can see all entries:

But the user, Jane Duh in this case, can see only her own:

Here is an example of aligning cloze sub-questions (MC in this case) in a table. hth

The first reversed confusion I've seen. This query belongs in the  Database activity module. So, post it there and please tell us which Moodle version you are using, and if you can add more details to the scenario and a screenshot that would be great.
