Then again, I can't get the "editable" checkbox to change how any of my report links work when they are shown in a form. You still have to click "Grid Edit" on the top of the table showing the children from within the form. (The "Editable" checkbox doesn't seem to do much).

    Editable means that if the Parent is in edit mode to also make the children editable.

      So maybe just have the users edit the parent and then the children will be in grid edit.

        Got it. I'll try these out and see which solution works best for the team. Thanks a ton for all the input and help! That makes a lot more sense on the grid edit part for the drop down list.
