Feature Enhancement - "Edit mode" and "View Mode"

[Roy Mudie]

As our database usage grows we're constantly hit with the pain point that anyone can accidentally edit a database entry.

Version history is nice, but unless you catch it in the moment, it can be hard to figure out exactly WHEN someone deleted the contents of a cell in a database with 500 rows and 10 different columns.

You don't have an always on edit mode on while visiting a regular page, so why is it done like this for databases?

Currently we limit editing to specific admin users with permissions, but as one of those admins, I realise I'm fallible too... I can make mistakes and, if anything, it's now just more annoying because the change history is ALL me and one other person, so it can be even harder to identify when an accidental change was made.

Please can we add an "edit" button like pages?

The inevitable has happened. A couple of rows has been changed inadvertently over the past couple of months (nothing too major) but today I've noticed rows have been accidentally deleted.

I've removed all other editors but I can't remove myself. So now I know for sure that the next mistake is mine and I'm also a bottleneck for others to make changes.

PLEASE add an option view/edit mode for databases - this just isn't sustainable for us :(
