Surely it's time Inline editing from views

Surely it's time Inline editing from views

I think the first request I found for in-line editing from grids was approximately 12 years ago - that post was locked because it was suggested Zoho sheetview solved the problem.

However, it's now 2024, and in-line editing from grids is just a basic expectation. What's more, it's technology that you guys have now incorporated in Projects, and Tables has it. Surely this now becomes a relatively simple view to implement in CRM.

Last few days, I showed my team Zoho Sheetview because they were frustrated with how long it was taking them to update records, and without fail, everyone asked the same - why can't we just edit in the main view like all our other apps. While I love all the new whiz bang features that CRM has, this is just core tech that would make the life of every single CRM use better.


Info
Moderation Update (23rd June 2025):
We are happy to announce the new Grid View in CRM. Now, you can create, edit, and share records directly from the list view. Please join the discussion on the same in the link below,
