Inline Editing App improvements

Clark House

Hi team,

One of our customers pointed out some difficulties when using the Inline Editing app, and offered a few suggestions for improvement:

1. Creating a New Card - It doesn't seem possible to create a new card from the Asset Library, and the error "Invalid Client ID" appears, which can easily cause confusion:

I believe this is caused by the OAuth prompt not appearing, which should appear when creating and saving a new Inline Editing card. However, the app does not allow the user to save the card in this state, making it impossible to trigger the OAuth prompt (via Asset Library > Inline Editing > New Card).

It seems the only way to create a new Inline Editing card is to modify an existing card, using "Save as", or by searching for the app again in the App Store.

2. Filtering - The filtering function in the app is a bit limited, in that the column entries aren't displayed in a "checkbox list" format, and instead the user must type the field to filter on:

This requires the user to know what is contained in a column before deciding what to filter on.

3. Editing restrictions - Our customer pointed out that it may be useful to include limits around length and type for certain columns, which could guide the user on what to input.

Example: Only allow 5 digit numbers in a column

I feel this is valid feedback so I wanted to share!
