Much like how tables have inline editable fields allow details view to have live fields. For instance when a staff member brings up a contacts information in the middle of a phone call there might be certain fields that it would be useful to edit quickly without having to click into an edit field. If a field could just be clicked on to edit and the submit that would be really helpful. I actually think that the distinction between the different types of view i.e Table, Details and Forms, could do with being rethought a little as I think all of these could benefit from some of each others features to allow more flexibility of design. ---

We really need this! It's insane to open a huge form just to change one field record in detail view. ---

Agreed. This could have a fairly significant impact on usability and intuitiveness. ---

> [@CSWinnall](#): > > would be an amazing addition I get round this by breaking the detail page up into little forms which can quickly be edited and then submitted without loading a form or leaving page. - Its not ideal but handier than loading a whole form.
