Edit records of a collection in series #665

Open almet opened 6 years ago

almet commented 6 years ago

I'm currently facing a use case where I have to edit almost all the records of a collection. I want to be able to do it manually (i.e. it's not possible to automate this). My current flow is as follows:

  1. Go to the list of records
  2. Click on the first one
  3. Edit it
  4. Go back to the list of records
  5. Click on the next item
  6. Edit the second item (Loop)

I can imagine another flow were I do:

  1. Go to the list of records
  2. Click on the first one
  3. Hit save / Click next
  4. Edit the second item (loop).

I know that Odoo for instance proposes something like this in their software and it's really useful when you have to batch edit a bunch of things manually.

It could also be some arrows on top of the record form (previous / next). It would also allows to browse the records attributes easily

yup :-)

Lot of potential options here.

  1. Allow for bulk edit of records or bulk update through a file upload
  2. Next/previous buttons to move between records
  3. Allow inline editing or records in the grid
  4. Provide a simplified list overview of the records in edit mode so users can switch between them quickly

If this is still desirable we can pick an option, make some mock-ups, and go from there.
