There is a lot of discussion in this forum about editing detail records in a pop-up vs inline but most of it is old. So should I now be able to do this in v8? It's not working. My problem is that inline add / edit is too wide for the screen.

Dumb question or no solution?

If you have too many fields.

I solved that, just go to Totals menu List page - Grid layout and select Columns instead of Horizontal . Hope this help.

Actually, the vertical grid layout woks great if there's only one detail record. After that the list gets really big vertically and becomes unusable. I need to list details horizontally but add / edit in a popup. It's the inline add /edit part that gets too wide for the screen.

You can Create custom View to just for Add/Edit in detail and let the normal table to display the list page.

But, Inline Add / Edit is the only choice that will display the child records along with the Master record (see my original post). View or no view, if I set the detail pages to Add / Edit instead of Inline Add / Edit then it doesn't work.

I need to be able to use pop-up Add / Edit with the detail records. Right now it looks to me like that's not possible with PHPR 8 unless there's a trick I don't know about.
