Custom "Edit" page breaking inline edit capability

I have a custom object created for tracking bugs, but the default edit page is messy and unappealing. I have created a custom visualforce page, but when I change the "Edit" button to use the custom pages, the inline editing capability (double click a field) in the object view is turned off. Is there a way for me to have my cake and eat it too? I'd like to be able to customize my edit page AND utilize inline editing for those who don't want to transfer to an edit page.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am sure your visual force page is not developed to support inlineEditing. Please see this example and compare your visualforce apge code.
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_compref_inlineEditSupport.htm
You could try develop your page similar to this example utilizing apex:inlineEditSupport to make it work.

Thanks

Hi Shashikant,

Thank you for the tip. I will try it today. My concern is that I am not building a custom page for the custom object view, I'm only building one for the edit page.

On the view page of the object is where I want inline editing though. Again, that works when I do not have a custom edit page, but as soon as I change my edit button to resolve to a visual force page instead of the default edit mode, inline editing turns off on the object's view page. 

I'll let you know what I find soon.

Thanks!
