Unable to edit a collection

User Experience
1

I have a scenario where there is a collection on the work page. The client needs to be able to edit the contents, add or delete as needed. Ideally the workloadReasonCd would be a dropdown fed by a data page. On selection it would update the other fields appropriately.

Constellation has two options to display the collection, table or field group. A very significant amount of time has been spent trying to make the fields and rows editable. Below shows the data available for viewing, but you cannot edit, add or delete. All of the options are set to always.

What configuration or steps are required to be able to edit inside the table. I have tried changing the display for the workloadReasonCd to a dropdown and defining the picklist to point to a data page. It still displays as an un-editable field. We have tried every combination of settings and different approaches. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@SIMMR-1 To start off, I will assume that collection=pagelist.

Looking at your word document, I suspect you are using a partial view instead of a form view (indicated by the template being Details (One column) ). Partial views are used for read only purposes, and they will render without the editing options you seek. Using a form view, you will get the edit options.

I see in your config that you have edit option as “modal”. This, in a form view, would give you dots to the right on each row to launch a modal to edit. Make sure you include the fields you need in that edit view. The edit view would be the one connected to the data object of the items in your pagelist. Alternatively, you can choose edit mode as “table rows”, in which case the fields will be directly editable in the table.
