Use Form for Each Row

Timo

Hi All,

I have been trying to use the Use Form for Each Row option but it doesn't seem to work.

The User Guide says:

Use Form for Each Row
This option is only enabled when references are displayed as a table of items and when the “Allow inline editing” checkbox is ticked. When this option is off attribute values for references being edited are displayed in a singe row as shown on the previous picture. If there are many values to enter such a row may become too long and the users will have to scroll to enter the values. To avoid this problem it is possible to indicate a form that
will be used during inline editing. This form will be used for every row in the table.

I don't seem to be able to make this work, it seem's that the use form option is only available when the reference attribute can only refer to a single object.

I even tried setting the attribute to not have multiples then set the use form option and this displayed the form for the attribute, but when I changed the atribute to multiples allowed, it stops displaying as a form.

Am I missing something?

You are right - the option is now only available for single references only. The documentation, unfortunately, refers to the older version of the software where this option was available for both single and multiple references.

Thanks for responding to my question.

Could you give me the reasons for removing this functionality?

The older version (before 4.0) used a different library for the front end (plain HTML). The new version has a lot more features, but there were some casualties because the new front end library didn't some support all features of the old one. This is one of them.
