I've created an interface for my team that displays a Gallery of active projects from our Projects table.  I want them to add/remove projects from that interface without having to go the the data.  The option to "Allow users to add/delete records inline" sounds great, except for:

  1. The popup looks like a form, but there is no submit and the new record is already created.  Confusing.
  2. Where do I go to delete the record?
  3. The pop-up only shows the fields I chose to display in the Gallery, I really want all fields.  Otherwise, the user has to create a new record with a few fields and then re-edit it to see all of the fields.

I've hacked my way around #2 by adding a Button to the detail page that deletes the record.  Not great, but OK.

My hack for #1 and #3 is to replace the option with another button that has a hard link to a Form I created.  That form then has a hard link to redirect back to the interface after waiting a minute.  VERY CLUNKY.

Is there a better way?  TIA.
