If the Inline-Editing feature is enabled and available for the list you are working with, a label on top of the column headers indicates this is an editable list.

• Double-click any editable cell to edit the field value straight from the list, without having to leave the list or open a record form.

  Inline-editing is available for all fields except File Attachment fields.

  Multiple selection fields are supported as of SuiteProjects Pro. See Multiple Selection Fields and Inline-Editing.

  Tip:

  Press Shift +Enter on your keyboard to insert a line break in a text area field. Drag the bottom right corner to resize the box

• Press the Tab key or Shift+Tab to go to the editable cell immediately to the right or immediately to the left, respectively. If you are editing the last editable cell to the right, press the Tab key to go to the first editable cell in the same row. If you are editing the first editable cell to the left, press Shift +Tab to go to the last editable cell in the same row.

• Click a different row to save the changes made, or press the Enter key to save the change, close the edit mode and move to the cell immediately below. An on-screen message confirms the record was saved or notifies you in case of error in the same way as when you click Save on the Task form.

• Form permissions and form rules are respected. If you are not able to modify a particular record or field on the record form, you will not be able to modify that record or field in the list.

• Any form scripts associated with the record form will be triggered when editing a record directly from the list.
