QGIS has this neat feature to show up a form, allowing to set/change attribute values, when adding features to a layer, called attributes form. It is possible to show or hide it when adding new features:

However, I would like to show up this form also when modifying geometries of already existing features. For example if I move a point to another location.

Of course I could simply open the attribute table afterwards or use identify tool to show up the form after I moved it. But I am looking for a way to automatically show up the form when e.g. moving features, just like it does when adding new features.

Any ideas how (or if) this could be done? I couldn't find any settings in QGIS 3.4 nor 3.14, only the checkbox to "apply default value on update". This indeed updates values when moving a feature, but does not open the form so users could add extra infos.

You can make this form show up with the identify tool and edit the fields of the identified feature if you are in edit mode

But to my knowledge you can't just link the form to any action.

Perhaps you could try copying into the Python startup code configuration panel (icon next to the drag and drop designer) what is suggested in this post:
