Query with edit in app

[mxx]

{“version”:“5.0.8”,“edition”:“enterprise edition”}

Hey!
Is it possible to let a person query for a specific entry and then edit the output in a user friendly way? I tried the Query app and the query type page in the app and you can just query for it. Is there a way around this?

Thanks you advance for your Ideas!

The query page is a read-only page. Manual edits are NOT supported.

This said: buttons are supported on the query page. Hence you can also show 1-x buttons in the query results which execute as many predefined actions.

It is not possible now. But we have a plan to support the feature in the future.

Hi @mxx ,
Depending on your programming skills, you can also consider rewriting (part of) your app. I did that once for such purpose (being able to edit a selected record). The global process was the following:

• the “app” was created with simple HTML + JS pages
• to avoid exposing my credentials and allow authentification, I managed a “server-side” part with a n8n workflow triggered by a webhook: the login webpage sends a login request with a user id and password, and if the data are recognized, the n8n workflow sends back the server URL and the API token stored in local storage (deleted while logging out) as webhook response.
• to ease the app creation, I embedded the simple pages (simple forms or simple table views) with iframes, the source of the iframe being once again returned by the n8n workflow after a request from the HTML page (the source is sent only if the user is logged in).

I’m not sure that explaining the process farther is really useful here, but if you need more info feel free to contact me

Bests,
Benjamin
