Summary:

Enable inline editing of contact fields directly within the Contact List and Smartlist table views, allowing users to update field values without navigating into individual contact records.

Current Behavior:

When using Smartlists with customized column views (via Manage Fields), all displayed data is read-only within the list. To update any field — whether a standard contact field or a custom field — users must open each contact record individually, locate the field, make the edit, and return to the list. When managing large lists with many contacts, this creates significant friction and inefficiency.

Requested Behavior:

Allow users to click directly on a field value within the Smartlist or Contact List table view to edit it inline — similar to how spreadsheet applications handle cell editing. This could be triggered by:

A single or double-click on a cell value

A small edit icon appearing on hover

Supported field types should include: text, number, date, dropdown, radio select, checkbox, and other applicable custom field types.

Use Case / Business Value:

Users who build operational Smartlists (e.g., scheduling views, financial tracking, route management) often need to make quick, high-volume updates to custom fields across multiple contacts at once. Inline editing would eliminate the repetitive open-edit-save-back cycle, dramatically reducing time spent on routine data updates and improving overall workflow efficiency.

Priority / Impact: High — particularly valuable for users leveraging Smartlists as operational dashboards with custom fields.
