Hi Peter,

Double clicking on a Grid currently already has some behavior associated with it. For instance, if you have a large Grid and the Form is on a separate tabpage, double clicking on a record would navigate you to the Form.

We could take this idea also a step back and look at it in a more functional way. You would like to give the user to start editing a row or subject without having them select the edit button.

An alternative solution could be a shortkey to activate edit mode, and this already works using Ctrl+E. Is that not sufficient for your use case? Could you also add the use case so it is more clear to why this idea should be implemented?

Our main use case is our own translations feature. It is a list without form where the user makes quick changes in one field (screenshot below). We don’t want default edit mode to prevent accidental changes.

We also have specific translations of multi-line fields, for those we created a task (with double-click enabled) that has a multi-line parameter to edit the translation. We noticed that double clicking was way more intuitive and easier to use than the shortkey, so our users requested that double clicking would also start edit-mode for a normal (single-line) translation. 

When discussing this user story, we considered if this shouldn’t always be the case for grids that don’t use a form and have edit-in-grid enabled to keep the application consistent. 

From a user point of view, the edit button is the same as a task button. So it makes sense that the double-clicking feature of tasks would also work for the edit button.

For list with forms, I think this feature would even work well with the current behaviour of double-clicking -> switches to the form. The only addition would be that if double-click to edit is enabled on the subject, the form would be put directly in edit mode.
