Qrew LegendThat Grid Edit feature is not yet available. I think it will roll out when they get in line editing working on table reports. But we really don't have a timeline on when that will be.
But we really don't have a timeline on when that will be.
Users can click on full report to get into Grid Edit that way, but if they add children in Grid Edit, then they will end up being orphans, unless you make related parent proxy field a required field and force the users to reselect the same parent, which I know it's awkward.
in trying to think of a workaround for the time being. I was thinking of making a mini form on the old style so when the user click grid edit, they would end up in edit mode on the old form. That's what I'm thinking is the best in term solution.
when I'm next at my computer, I will try to remember to post some code for that. The issue is going to be you want to return the user upon save back to the new form.

We really need a better answer on this. This missing feature breaks a significant existing UI feature which makes it extremely difficult to move forward with the new forms due to existing user workflows.
Can we get a better answer?
Qrew LegendI think it could be several months before Grid Edit is available on New Style forms.
This code seems to work to create a button to Grid Edit on a mini Legacy form and then return to display the record on the New Style form.

Thank you for the reply, Mark.
I appreciate the update on the timeline for a fix, even if its ballpark. The code works perfectly. I had already created a Grid Editor legacy form, but couldn't get the return to New Style form to work as elegantly as this. I had a button to go back which is obviously a bit of a kludge.
Thanks again!
@Mark Shnier (Your Quickbase Coach) for my learning opportunity, can you please write why for return you used second variable instead of:
& "&z=" & Rurl()Code comparison below:
//My CODE
URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & URLEncode([Record ID#]) & "&dfid=11" & "&z=" & Rurl()
//Your Code:
var text EditOnMiniForm = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&dfid=11&rid=" & [Record ID#];
var text DisplayParent = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&dfid=12&rid=" & [Record ID#];
Adam, if your code also works, that just means that there are two ways to do this. Your way will probably return the user in edit mode on the record if they were in edit mode when they launched the button. Mine will return the user to view mode.
