Hi Sven,

Thank you for your reply. I am aware of the inlinEditField and I have tried it. I am working on the Gallery layout and when I apply the code, only the title field can be edited which is not my designated field. I wonder how I can choose which field to edit.

Best regards

Samson

Hi Samson1915 ,

you can do the following to make a text field (like Value in my example) editable in gallery view

First copy your gallery view formatting code and put it into a text editor.

Then find the line that displays your field "Value"

"txtContent": "=if ([$Value] == '', '–', [$Value])"

and add this line above or below it.

"inlineEditField": "[$Value]",

Paste the resulting code back into the code editor on the "Format View" screen and confirm with "Save"

Now "Value" is inline editable in "Gallery View"

Best Regards,
Sven
