How can I make a field editable every time a record is opened, even in view mode?

This is Dan Diebolt's work, so most likely you've got a good amount of JavaScript manipulation in the background combined with something like his Image OnLoad (IOL) technique.  An Inspection of the page reveals api.js and pendo.js calls.  Unfortunately, Dan has been absent from the message boards for quite some time (he's sorely missed).  And, QuickBase is explicitly excluding the ability for builders to inject JS into forms now; i.e., it will be very difficult or even impossible to recreate this.  Others may have a different take. If you can articulate your use-case then someone might be able to suggest a solution.

There is not going to be a native way to do this and all non-native ways are not supported. If they allowed you to edit things in View mode I would submit that as a bug.

What you linked is from someone that was very heavily into JavaScript. That is 100% a JavaScript solution that may or may not currently work after the changes that happened. If you have arrived on that page then you should have gotten there from their main app. In their main app they have a list of everything like this they have ever posted and I'm sure it is detailed in there. Again, it may not work at this time though.

As the title says, I would like to make a text box (preferably multi line) that is editable in view mode. I can't seem to find any properties that specifically allow for this.

I know it is possible because this person did it, but I'm not sure how to recreate it

Thanks!
