### **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.
