I would like to pull up a list of all child objects under a specific parent record. Similar to a related list, but I need to be able to edit multiple fields on the records but would prefer not to use inline edit support and have to double click each cell. Would much prefer to have all fields already in inputField format ready for a value (either first time entering a value or editing an existing value). So far, I cannot find a way to do this. I see how i can use a list controller to pull up and edit multiple records, but I cannot filter for only a subset of those records (with same parent record). I can use a custom controller and extension to pull up the exact list I need, but then I Cannot use standard methods like 'save' and 'edit' in order to ensure the update is made on each field. Any suggestions?
Greetings!
You can use the Standard controller and extension in which you can query the child records based on the parent Id and use the standard Save and Edit button as well without using any other extra code.
Please find the sample code provided in the below documentations:

Thank you for reaching out again.
The difference between the lookup and Master detailed relationship is that the child records are completely controlled by the Parent record.
So,I would suggest you to try the suggested approach to proceed further.
