Hello All
Just created a Grid Edit report to update approx. 5 fields.
When I re-opened report it was junked up with additional fields (very hard to navigate).
When I open the "Customize the Report" tab it appears correct.
What am I doing wrong?
Question
Grid Edit Report
+8Are they lookup fields? If so, you can't grid-edit them directly; rather, you have to edit the reference field, so grid-edit presents the reference fields alongside the lookup fields.
+8They are, but I don't even want to see them on this particular Grid Edit report. I am not editing them, and they just create navigation headaches.
+17Hi Dirk,
One thing that can be helpful to check is to go into the settings for that table, and go into the forms section and specifically the option to set how roles use forms and there is a column that shows what the behavior is for Grid Edit, you might want to make sure someone hasn't set up a report to override all of your grid edits, typically if you want a report to show just what is on the report in Grid Edit you want to make sure that it is set to standard behavior. The override can be done on the role level or on the report level so checking both places can just help make sure you aren't running into a setting issue. I hope this suggestion is helpful.

+17Hi Dirk,
Not a problem at all, I am just glad to hear that helped. I have run into the exact same thing myself when trying to troubleshoot an app.
