Why cant i inline edit a standard item field in a saved search?

if pencil icon is not there then you cannot

but there must be a reason for it?

inline editing is tied to field type settings and properties, this is an out of the box field and you cannot change the field properties (custom fields you can control that). Submit an enhancement request LOL netsuite

@Sam-I-Am these are saved search results too which just displays data and doesn't let you edit the data. You can only do it from the list of records I believe.

I believe the field also needs to be shown on the preferred form for that record type for it to work

he is asking for inline edit - not in the record itself.

I've never seen the ability to inline edit saved search results

Not all fields are inline editable

maybe im missing something

I know....but per this support article if the field is hidden on the preferred form it will not be inline editablehttps://suiteanswers.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/35598/loc/en_US

and the search has to be mainline true

i have never done this in 10 years lol

The schema browser indicates whether a field is inline editable or not. I don’t think it says anything about “why” though

im gonna have to create a custom field then for weight and update the standard field in a script
