The children are part of another app so having them set as "editable" in the form rules doesn't seem to make them editable by default when I view them. I still hit "Grid Edit" on the list of related children. Is it possible I'm doing something wrong and that's why the children records are not editable when I arrive on the form?

Our employees do this every day and they are in China so their page load times are typically a bit slower so I'm trying to decrease the number of page loads they need to perform a rather monotonous task.

Right now the fastest way is still to click the report link and then click "grid edit" on the top right hand side.

Mainly just curious if I can make this any faster and just have them arrive on a page where they are already editing the children.

There is a report type called Grid Edit.

Make a perfect report with an <ask the user> field on related Parent.
run the report and answer the question with any parent.

Observe the URL and mimic it

URLRoot() & "db/xxxxxxx" & "?a=q&qid=99&nv=1&v0=" & [record ID#]


That says to run a report #99 which has 1 question (nv=1) and the answer to the zeroth question (it likes to start numbering at zero) is [Record ID#]
