Quick Edit Mode not saving last list item on a page

Copper Contributor

Hello everyone,

 

I'm running into an issue in a SharePoint Online List. We have 1000+ items in a list.

 

When I use Quick Edit, I can see about 30 items at a time, and can add metadata to the item. However, when I add metadata to the last item on a page, then click the next page arrow to continue editing in Quick Edit mode, the changes I made to the last list item on the previous page aren't saved. 

 

Example: in Quick Edit, I modified line items 1 to 30, clicked the next arrow to move to the next page, decided to go back to the previous page, and all the new data I added on line item 30 is erased. 

 

Anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

 

Thanks,

A

In my experience, if you close the Item too quickly or don't move to another line on the Item, sometimes SharePoint doesn't have a chance to save what you put in.
When editing in Quick Edit, always make sure you see "Saved" after changes before closing the record.

 

Some screenshots to illustrate

 

While the change is "Saving", do not close the Item:

Only close the Item once the change has been "Saved"

If you are not seeing "Saving" or "Saved", click into any other field to kick off the Saving action.
