How to make an embedded report editable on the new form

Ok... loving the new form builder BUT.... I can't see how to make an embedded report editable. Basically, what's the new version of this:  Is this possible? ----------------...

That 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.

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?

I 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.

// form ID 11 is a mini form in Legacy Style just for Grid Edit purposes
// form ID 12 is the New Style form.
// the intent is to click this button to go into Grid Edit mode on legacy form, and then upon save, return to the New Style Form
 
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#];
 
 
$EditOnMiniForm
& "&NextURL=" & URLEncode($DisplayParent)
