We've listened to your feedback and are excited to introduce a series of improvements focused on inline editing and the display of Linked Records. This update brings a smoother undo/redo experience during inline edits, along with several UI tweaks designed to make your grid views clearer and more flexible.
‍

Key highlights

  • Undo/Redo Enabled: When editing Linked Records inline, you can now easily undo or redo changes as you work—helping you quickly correct mistakes.
  • Flexible Field Display: You now have the option to remove the auto-generated Title field from your grid display. The system will always ensure that at least one field remains visible so your data never gets lost.
  • Modal Overhaul: The record selector modal has been refreshed. It now appears inline by default and can be expanded to a full-screen style when needed, creating a more streamlined selection process.
  • Visual Enhancements: Updates across various UI elements—including hover effects, card layouts, and field states—improve the overall look and feel of your Linked Record grids.
  • Seamless Switching: If you switch grid formats, any changes you made (like hiding the Title field) will be reset automatically to ensure a consistent viewing experience.
    ‍

How it works

  • Inline Undo/Redo: As you make changes to Linked Records using inline editing, each adjustment is saved immediately. The undo/redo actions are available as long as you remain focused on the grid.
  • Managed Field Visibility: In the grid display, you can remove the Title field along with others; however, the system prevents you from removing all fields. Should you remove the last field, the Title field will reappear automatically.
  • Updated Record Selector: The record selector modal now supports both inline and expanded views. Its intuitive design allows for quick filtering, record creation with a single ENTER key, and smooth transitions between modes.
  • Consistent UI Behavior: Across the board, visual elements such as hover states, borders, and card heights have been refined. These improvements ensure that every interaction—from field selection to modal navigation—is as clear and responsive as possible.
  • Contextual Action: Undo/redo actions apply directly to the inline edit session of the grid. Once you shift focus away from the Linked Record grid, these actions are no longer active.
    ‍

This update enhances your experience by providing greater control over inline editing and record display without compromising on usability or clarity. Enjoy a more intuitive way to work with your Linked Records!
