Allow field validations in inline editing

Summary

Enable real-time field validation for inline editing to ensure a consistent user experience and data integrity without requiring modal-based workflows.

The Problem

Currently, fields requiring validation cannot be safely edited inline. This forces a “split” workflow:

  • Simple fields are edited quickly via inline inputs.

  • Validated fields require the user to trigger an action button and open a modal to ensure data constraints are met.

The Impact

This creates a disjointed UX. Users must switch mental contexts between two different editing patterns on the same record. It increases “click fatigue” and reduces the perceived efficiency of the inline editing feature.

Proposed Solution

Implement Inline Validation Logic that triggers as the user interacts with a cell. Key requirements include:

  • Real-time Feedback: Visual indicators (e.g., “help” text (similar to form validation) or red borders that appear immediately if a value fails validation.
