Hey @Lorenzo_Boers - I’m not really sure what you’re looking for here, would you mind explaining a bit more? ---

Instead of only giving us the option to open a certain record view, it would be great if we could open a modal to view and edit the fields of that record, similar to the functionality of action buttons. This would allow us to navigate through a list of records and easily “quick view” and make quick edits without leaving the current view or losing the applied filters. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/noloco/original/1X/5df00e950ea4345a05e503474f8204208681dc5b.png) I know this could be done with action buttons, but they are not easily accessible for mobile users. That’s why I came up with this idea after hearing that my colleagues had difficulty clicking the three dots and then pressing the action button. It occurred to me that it would be great if clicking the record itself could open a modal for viewing and editing. ---

Yes I can think of several places I would use this as well!
