Question

Make ""edit"" view default

Currently, when you click a record it takes you to the View form. Is it possible for it to instead take you to the Edit form? 

I'm expecting the answer to just be no, but it would be nice. I tried turning off viewing in a custom report, but that wasn't what I was looking for. 
Thanks, Alex

    You can't natively default to edit, but you can easily make a URL formula button to EDIT, which gives the user a larger target to click.


    URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & [Record ID#]

    Everything is possible with script in QuickBase.


    Just inject this code (or manually test from the console):

    $("table.searchResults tr")
      .removeAttr("canview")
      .on("click", function(event) {
        var rid = $(this).attr("id").substr(3);
        document.location.href = '${gReqDBID}?a=er&rid=${rid}';
      });
