The Edit in Grid mode, as we knew it from previous versions, no longer seems to be available. Is there any plan to bring this functionality back?

We would very much like to see it return, allowing end users to enable Edit in Grid for specific datasets. The ability to navigate from record to record and modify field values directly within the grid, without having to repeatedly click Save and Edit for each change, was very powerful.

This functionality is also missed in the Software Factory, where it provided a much more efficient editing experience.

Could you share whether this feature is on the roadmap?

It is working like that if ‘auto save’ is enabled. This is not done on all subjects in the SF unfortunately.

There only seems to be a bug currently that if you are using a screentype with a form you will first need to open the form one time before it starts working. I have reported this in TCP.

Thank you Peter!

We will try autosave.

Some finetuning in screen/actionbar settings in the software factory would be appreciated.

Hi ​@Harm Horstman ,

Has the usage of the ‘auto save’ setting fixed the issues that you were experiencing?

If you are missing this in some places in the software factory, could you open an idea with the specific places where you would like to see this change?

Best,
Bo Flachs

Hello Bo,

I believe the behavior we previously had with “Edit in Grid” was more ideal and should be restored and enabled for all grids in the Software Factory.

A small safeguard to prevent accidental changes is good. However, once a user explicitly chooses to edit in a grid, the interface must allow smooth navigation between rows using arrow keys or the mouse, and enable direct data editing without forcing the user to save every single record individually. Restoring this workflow would significantly improve productivity for us as developer but also for the users of the applications that we deliver.
