Issues Search Results - allowing inline field edits

[Heather D]

Is there any way to allow users to edit details of an issue without actually going into the issue and clicking "Edit"? Would like to make changes to an issue directly from the search results window. This would significantly reduce the # of clicks needed to update an issue. Thanks!

It doesn't exactly do an inline edit but from the issue navigator you can click on 'Edit' under Actions column and once the Edit is completed it will redirect you back to the issue navigator. It will save you couple of clicks ;)

yeah. . .still 3 clicks for something that should take one click!! :)

Mmm, I can understand why it's not there. Consider a typical search result - maybe 25 lines of 10 columns - that's 250 fields for which you have to work out not just the current values, but all the possible values for dropdowns, pop references and links for all of them, include all the scripts and hooks for editing entry code, and deal with the permissions. On top of that, the date you're seeing is from a fast index and cache, but editing goes back to the database. Whilst it's a nice idea, it's horrendous to implement...

Well - you don't need to get all the info until the user clicks on a row, and then you can do it through ajax. I reckon this feature will come... It would satisfy all the people who want to do their editing in excel then upload.

Thanks for the answers. . .at least I know it's not there instead of trying to figure out how to do it!
