    Hi,

    With the inline/inplace form editing feature, is there a plan to:
    1) Have an 'auto-save' switch for specific reports so edits are saved on exiting a cell (e.g. like Google Spreadsheet)
    2) Allow the use of check boxes?

    1) Have an 'auto-save' switch for specific reports so edits are saved on exiting a cell (e.g. like Google Spreadsheet)

    That shoud be doable. We'll see if it is.

    2) Allow the use of check boxes?

    Having checkboxes is more of a thing to have something to edit. As checkbox represents choise of multiple values also the cell to be edited should support multiple values. We'll give this a thought.

    Thanks. For a checkbox, an initial 'basic' case where it is simply toggling yes/no or true/false would be a great start.

    For multiple values: If it was python you could put it in a python dictionary with its nice functions to have key-pairs. There even seems to be a php parser for python dictionaries http://jerith.za.net/code/pythontypes.html

    You can already do this. See example from demo:

    Click on cell

    Just make sure you have the latest build as it contains a bug fix for this.

    Thanks for the yes/no pointer - seems features are added faster than I can keep up with them - well done!

    Yes,
    having examples of all features is as time consuming as creating the features itself. As is the keeping up with the features for sure.

    "Is it possible to..." questions are welcomed. Gives us ideas as well if not already possible.

    Click-event support was added in myDBR 2.9 - "Ciao Italia!"
