I built an IR a while ago as part of one APEX application for one of our departments.
The users recently asked for a field to be added where they can insert a date when a specific task has been performed.
However, they want to perform this globally rather than navigate from IR to a specific record, put the date and come back.
I really need a hybrid IR, where all columns are read only, just this new column (date)which I am planning to add to the underlying table needs to be editable and a Dynamic action will be called to update the table with the last entered value. (I was able to accomplish something similar with a dynamic action for a text box where user can modify and then when she exists the field, the latest value appears).
I don't want to change the whole query and use collection for just one single editable field.
I read one post where 'an out of the box' solution might be available.
I know there are many ways to accomplish this, but I am looking for the most elegant, straightforward solution, which makes full use of existing functionality in APEX.
