Good evening.

I’ve got a table that has a lot of columns. At some point, someone has used the edit screen for something else, and now we want to allow a user to edit every item in the table. Rather than manually adding a form component for each column, is there a way to add edit components for all columns?

I believe this is the default setting for the edit screen, so if there is some way to reset that it would be amazing.

Hi @Elijah_Burke , welcome to joining the community.  
I don’t know if using the “data grid” component is what you expect?

How many columns do you have for that table?

I think Data Grid is the best choice in that case but even then it’s not a good solution.

The default edit screen is also not a good solution as well, it’s likely you have to re-configure many of the components anyway.

Yeah data grid doesn’t quite work for our use case. Will just build a custom screen.

Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, I would separate the Edit screen into sections.

I was thinking this. We’ve hacked around before to get an edit screen in to sections, is there a guide somewhere that illustrates the best way to do this?

I don’t know if there’s one. Usually I just add a container with a dark background, and a headline text for each “section header”, then add the components under it.
