Rollout status |
| For desktop UI (preview), there was a bug where pressing the Edit button in a view entry in a dashboard view would enable edit mode for all view entries (not just the one).
In addition, the following updates were made:
- The Edit button within the dashboard view entries opens the view in a form drawer, regardless of if Edit in place mode is enabled for that view.
- The Enable Edits button in the top right of a dashboard view only enables edits for table view entries (similar to the legacy desktop).
|
This update was rolled back for all users as it broke the legacy editor experience. (See related fixes under Bug fixes) |
