Here’s a NetSuite tip for activating the Inline edit feature. Â The documentation is good but fails to discuss that the field must be present on the preferred form definition. Â This can easily confuse NetSuite power users because you may be in a situation where you know you have activated Inline Edit to work for one role and then you want it to work for another role that effectively has similar permissions. Â The frustration is that you can’t get the inline edit to activate. Â Instead, the field shows up as read-only.
If the preferred form for the alternative NetSuite role does not have the field defined as editable, then the inline edit will not work.
