I have a bunch of clients in the energy sector who need to conduct inspections where there is no connectivity.
The issue I seem to have is that, the inspection takes about 2 hours and has about 30 fields. They cannot do it one go, so they need to do it in pieces and save it.
In offline, once I add the record, I am not able to edit it.
Any suggestions for Glide or do I need to look at different technology ?

I haven’t used offline rows. If you use a custom form instead of a normal form, does that help?

Try using a custom form, just as @ThinhDinh said.

@ThinhDinh @Hirfher
Assuming you mean this for the custom form, that doesn’t work. It seems like once you are offline, the EDIT function no longer responds.
I can add a row. I see the new row in my collections table, but when I try to edit the row, although it is giving me the EDIT option, it doesn’t do anything when selected.

No, that’s a normal form. We meant this.

This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using [User Specific Columns](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/user-specific-columns) and [Relations](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/relation-column) Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particular…
