Inline edit a detail record from master list page

Hello,
Is it possible to edit a detail record, via inline edit, from the master table's list page? For example, I have 2 tables: jobs and job_parts. Jobs is the master table, which contains many job_parts. From the Jobs list page I would like to be able to "preview detail records inline", then inline edit those records. Is that possible?
On a related note: is there any way to add a detail record from the master table list page? (to avoid clicking to the detail list page, then clicking to add). I'm not sure how that would even work, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone else has figured out something clever that I'm not thinking of.
Thanks,

Tim

Hi,
Unfortunately no. There is no easy way to preview and edit detail records in Inline mode.
To add detail record from the master table create new link on the Visual Editor tab and point it to the detail add page. Pass master key in this link and then fill session variables manually in the Add page: Before process event on the Events tab.
