Being able to modify a columnโs value outside of the form is extremely helpful in speeding up certain data entry scenarios. In AppSheet you can enable this inside the Detail View, selecting the columns you wish users to be able to quick-edit.
If youโre inside the form, you can just cancel and your edits wonโt be saved; but with a quick-edit, the edit is saved as soon as the focus leaves the field.
In this video I show you how you can create an โundoโ system for quick edits - a Cancel button that users can press to revert things back to the way they were.

bwahhahaha.
That is great. I make use of Quick Edits so this will be important to implement.
Thanks.
Tip: in your App Documentation, search for this: โQuickEditColumnsโ: [ " to see where you have set up Quick Edits. If you simply search for QuickEditColumns youโll get tons of search terms found that donโt actually indicate a Quick Edit column you set up.
Good point about Quick Edit not having an undo, but Forms have a Cancel button.
It would be cool if Quick Edits caused a little undo icon to appear for a few seconds.
If delayed sync is on, then it would basically be the same as jumping the menu and clicking revert changes, but much faster! Thatโs hard to do quickly when youโre trying to stop a sync.
This is very cool. Thanks you.
