What is inline editing?
You can change elements directly in the dialog (inline editing). There are several options for starting inline editing:
Right-click an item and then click Edit.
Select an element and press F2.
Double-click an element entry.
The complete text is selected and can be overwritten.
Inline editing is possible in the following elements:
The Password element has a label and is used for entering a password if the dialog is edited by a user while a process is being run. A period (.) is shown on the screen for each character entered.
The label can be deleted on the Display tab or by clearing the Has label check box.
On the Data tab, you can specify whether the element is a mandatory field, is read-only, or is subject to voting.
Inline editing is possible.

On the Data tab, you can specify whether the element is a mandatory field, is read-only, or is subject to voting. You can activate report support here, too. Enter the GUID of the relevant report in the Default ID of report field. If you do so, the data will be determined by report right before the dialog is displayed and will then be displayed in the dialog.

If you do so, the data will be determined by report right before the dialog is displayed and will then be displayed in the dialog.
You can specify a validation. This means that the input in the dialog will be checked when a task is edited. The following validations are available:
No validation (text box input is not checked)
Must not be specified (the box must not be completed)
Must be specified (the box must be completed)
E-mail address (a valid e-mail address must be entered)

The Date and time element has a label and is an input box for a date and time stamp. The label can be deleted on the Display tab or by clearing the Has label check box. Inline editing is possible.
You can activate report support on the Data tab. If you do so, the data will be read from ARIS by a report right before the dialog is displayed and will then be displayed in the dialog when the task is opened for editing. You can dynamically change the displayed name (label) of all elements using a report. If the task is displayed read-only, the report is not executed.
On the Data tab, a date with a time accurate to the nearest second can be preset in the Value field.
The Date and time element is structured as follows:
List for selecting the month
List for selecting the year
Calendar section for selecting the day
Box for selecting the hour
Box for selecting the minute
Box for selecting the second
Today button for selecting the current date
None button, which enables you to define no date or to discard the selected date
OK button for accepting entries
Cancel button for discarding entries

The Check box element consists of a name and the check box itself. The check box represents a Boolean value. Inline editing is possible.
On the Data tab, you can specify whether the element is a mandatory field, is read-only, or is subject to voting. You can activate report support here, too.

The Number field element has a label and is used for entering numbers. It is a spin box with arrows for increasing or reducing the numerical value. Values can also be entered directly. The label can be deleted on the Display tab or by clearing the Has label check box. Inline editing is possible.

If you do so, the data will be read from ARIS by a report right before the dialog is displayed and will then be displayed in the dialog when the task is opened for editing. You can dynamically change the displayed name (label) of all elements using a report. If the task is displayed read-only, the report is not executed.
