Hi, I am relatively new to MiniExtensions and to this community, but I have built a portal for my sporting group game and score management. One thing that is highly inconvenient as it stands is the in-line editing on the Grid, where, for example, when updating players scores, instead of just entering a number in the required field on the grid (much like a spreadsheet), it is necessary to click on the pencil item, wait for a form to load, update the number on the form and then submit the form. Is there a plan for true in-line editing on the Grid where a single simple field (text, number, etc) can be updated quickly without requiring a modal form to be opened (I note that for checkbox fields, it already works that way) ?
Hi Phillip!
Welcome to the forum and to miniExtensions!
I’m glad that this is your first post here, because I can report that we are bringing proper in-line editing to the Portal very soon! Unfortunately, I cannot give you a firm date on this just yet, but I will post an update here once this becomes available.
In the meantime, feel free to reach out to us through the chat icon in the bottom right corner if you have any questions or require assistance with anything! Our chatbot can answer most basic questions, but you can always ask to speak to a person and we’d be happy to help!

Hi Phillip!
We have just released some major improvements to our inline editing functionality!
Simply selecting the field will make it editable now, much like what you’re used to from Airtable! If you don’t have inline editing enabled already, you can do so through the layout section of your table’s setting, or the custom view settings if you have a different layout enabled. Please keep in mind that field validation and conditional fields settings will be ignored while inline editing. This is a limitation for the time being but our team is working on this as well!
Please let me know if you have any questions about this or require any assistance with this! I’d be happy to help.
Hi Hannes, I have had a look at this and it works perfectly for me. The use-case here is recording of sporting (golf) scores so the validation is not important, speed of entry is the important thing and this works just as I need it. Thanks for the update!
