Yup, still need it.

This would be incredibly helpful and reduce a lot of friction for businesses. I have clients that still use Google Sheets because it’s easier than using a custom object in ghl for this very reason!

Editing any field on a custom object record requires opening the record, finding the field, changing it, saving, and going back to the list. For teams managing hundreds of property records, updating one status or value at a time this way is slow and is the main reason users fall back to spreadsheets.

Goal

Let users edit custom object field values directly in the list view without opening the record.

Requirements

Click a cell in the list view to edit that field in place.

Support all standard field types: text, number, currency, date, single-select, multi-select, and checkbox.

Changes save on Enter or click-away, with Escape to cancel.

Inline edits fire the same workflow triggers and audit history as edits made inside the record.

Field-level permissions apply. Users without edit rights see read-only cells.

Optional: bulk edit a single field across selected rows.

Use case

We run a property intelligence platform on GHL where each property is a custom object record. Our users review lists of parcels and need to update status, offer price, and follow-up dates quickly while working through a list.

Yes! this. Current Problem:

To update an object, we have to:

1. Click to open it in the sidebar.

2. Scroll to find the field.

3. Make the change.

4. Hit save.

This process is slow and creates unnecessary friction.

Proposed MVP Solution:

• Allow inline editing directly on the row.

Example: If I want to change a dropdown from In Progress to On Hold, I simply:

1. Click that field on the row.

2. Select “On Hold.”

3. Click done/save.

No need to open the entire object.

Why This Matters:

• Removes unnecessary steps.

• Dramatically lowers friction.

• Increases user adoption because updates feel fast, natural, and efficient.
