How to show an inline action in list of ref rows within a form

[_pete_]

I have an inventory app where I would like to allow users to create a report, see a list of items/assets listed as onsite, and then click on a button for each item to confirm that it's onsite, but I can't figure out how to get the buttons to show up on the row items within the list within the form. Here are some images that explain what I mean:

 I got those inline items by creating a VC of type list and element type ref, with this formula:

 

I'm also able to get just the one action I want to show up inline in the Assets view (I'd like my inline list, a deck view, to show the same actions as this one does):

 I had read in a few places that I might need to create a blank VC to attach the inline action to it, so I did that.

 

 But I also read that maybe you just can't have inline actions in a list within a form. Is it possible to put actions within the inline view like I show above? If so, how? Thanks in advance for the help!

Actions are not available in the form. What can be done instead is to use a detailed view with quick edits enabled.

I wasn't able to quite figure it out that way, but I did realize that if you just use these steps instead, then my current configuration works to approximate the user experience I'm after:

1. Create a new report and save it.
2. Open the new report
3. Click on the inline actions in the related table; see the data get updated.
