Body: <p>I am using a similar approach with the code provided <a href="https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/1318/how-to-get-matrix-editor-into-frontend">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I am able to get an initial block to save, but when I go back to the form and try to add another a new block is not created. My application is basically to add notes to an entry. The notes contain an editorName, reviewNotes and a datetime stamp.  What am I doing wrong?</p>

  &lt;input type="hidden" name="fields[editorialHistory][new43][fields][editorName]" value="{{currentUser.getFriendlyName()}}"&gt;
  &lt;input type="hidden" name="fields[editorialHistory][new43][fields][reviewDate]" value="{{"now"|date("F j, Y, g:i a")}}"&gt;

Comments.Text: Is the handle of your block type actually named "block"?  One thing that I found to block the update/creation of blocks was a missing/invalid block type. If that doesn't help, could you perhaps put the whole entry form in a pastebin somewhere?

Comments.Text: Yes, the block type is actually "block". Unfortunate and I will probably change that.

Comments.Text: Unfortunately I abandoned this idea in favor of s simpler implementation that does not require matrix fields. I wish I still had the html form code but do not.

  I am using a similar approach with the code provided [here](https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/1318/how-to-get-matrix-editor-into-frontend).
  
  I am able to get an initial block to save, but when I go back to the form and try to add another a new block is not created. My application is basically to add notes to an entry. The notes contain an editorName, reviewNotes and a datetime stamp. What am I doing wrong?
  
  ```
  <input type="hidden" name="fields[editorialHistory][new43][type]" value="block">
  <input type="hidden" name="fields[editorialHistory][new43][fields][editorName]" value="{{currentUser.getFriendlyName()}}">
  <input type="hidden" name="fields[editorialHistory][new43][fields][reviewDate]" value="{{"now"|date("F j, Y, g:i a")}}">
