• The Marketing User check box must be selected on the User detail page to allow the user to perform inline editing.
• This list is a work in progress, Support engineers try to keep it as complete as possible, but fields might be missing from this list.
• Classic UI Users - Inline Editing will not work for list views with six or more filters active.
• If filter logic is used, Inline Editing will not work even though you have less than 6 filters. Example: 1 AND 2 AND 3.
