InlineFieldEdit on choice column not working anymore?

Copper Contributor

Hello, 

 

I have a big list on my Sharepoint online tenant. Within that list I have one column named Status. It is a regular choice column.
I had formatted the column so that I could change the column directly with inlineFieldEdit.

In a recent Edge update the inlineFieldEdit is bugged. I can select the item and a menu with a list of choices opens like before. However the menu closes instantly.

 

Here is the formatting JSON code I use for the column.

 

{
"elmType": "div",
"inlineEditField": "[$Status]",
"txtContent": "[$Status]"
}
 
Has anyone experienced this?

@Gassmund I just tried this on our SharePoint site and it is working fine for me on both Edge and Chrome browser. I am using Edge Version 112.0.1722.48

 

Also, it is better to use @currentField instead of internal name of your column to avoid any mistakes like: 

 

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "inlineEditField": "@currentField",
  "txtContent": "@currentField"
}

If only one user is facing this issue, ask them to clear browser cache/cookies (for all time) and see if it works.

If still it is not working, raise support ticket with Microsoft directly and report this behavior: Get M365 Support - Online Support

Thanks for your answer.

I have tried clearing browser cache/cookies.
Tried Windows 11 and Windows 10.
Multiple different users.
I have the same Edge version.

After messing around with list settings. It only happens when the column is set to "Radio Buttons". If I select "Drop-Down Menu" it works fine.

@Gassmund I just tried this with Radio buttons settings and I am seeing the same behavior both on Google chrome and Edge browser.

 

Seems like some problem at Microsoft's end. I will suggest you to raise a support ticket with Microsoft directly and report this behavior, follow: Get M365 support - online support
