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?
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.
