How does the "inline edit" option work?

I’m looking for the ability to have users populate a field and then have those entries available to select from the next time someone makes an entry. Is this the function of inline edit ? If no, is this capability available some other way? Thanks

inline editing allows users to update the field from list view or detail view by double clicking on the field and clicking the tick to save

if the field is a text area users can update from the list view and other users can see the notes

what field type are you looking to use

Apart from what explained in the previous answer, I would only add that normally what you ask is done by browser - the auto filling of values previously selected. But this obviously only works in the same browser, not for other people.

For the complete service, making data available to all users, you can create dropdown lists based on some dynamic values from the database, I seem to remember there were SugarCRM 6.5 tutorials on how to achieve this…
