How to make the Account field editable like the User Name field?
The Account field is the OOB lookup field pointing to the Account table.
Account field is not editable to select an item from Account table:
Hi @jwnz
I don't think Lookup fields are editable from that "view". If you need to update the Account field on the Contact record I'd add it to the Contact's form and then update the field from the form.
Hi @joaodsantos I added a new lookup field into the table, and this new lookup field is editable at this view, only the OOB lookup fields are not editable, but other OOB text fields are able to be updated
Unfortunately don't know a lot about that view, hopefully someone else with a bit more knowledge on that view can help. But it might be to do with it not being able to handle certain lookup fields.
Like I mentioned I normally just quickly add the fields needed to a form and add the records that way.
