I have a Contacts table. In the Contacts edit for I have Last Modified By and Last Modified Date. When I edit a record in that table and go back to the Contacts grid the Last Modify Date and Last Modified by work fine and those 2 fields show up as they should. However, when on the grid and I edit a record ‘inline’ those 2 fields don’t update. ---

Ed I suspect you’re using a Record Rule to capture this information using a standard Knack Edit form in the first instance and don’t believe it is possible to capture this information during Inline Editing. Dean ---

Hi Ed In the column settings for the grid you can add record rules to each column that will update the last updated by and last updated date. Craig ---

Or you can use the **\_lud** and **\_lub** keywords from the **KTL** - right?! See it in action here: [KTL - Last Updated By and Last Updated Date](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLsXNszD15M) Enjoy, Norm ---

I did exactly what you described, triple checked it and it doesn’t seem to work. I must be missing something. Set inline editing to yes for both fields. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/knack/original/2X/5/5a534bd0f47107308008712f66240917743a1273.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/knack/original/2X/a/ae857026cc06b34815446b994db1dfac0a450e1f.png) ---

Oh… maybe I overlooked an important detail… Do you have the KTL installed? See here: [KTL Installation](https://github.com/cortexrd/Knack-Toolkit-Library?tab=readme-ov-file#installation) Let us know how it goes, Norm ---

Good to read that. I thought you’d found a bug! If there are some features you don’t want or don’t like, you turn off anything, or change the behavior to your liking. See here how to disable some or all features: [Customizing Features · cortexrd/Knack-Toolkit-Library Wiki (github.com)](https://github.com/cortexrd/Knack-Toolkit-Library/wiki/Customizing-Features) Enjoy, Norm ---
