Data Quality user documentation | New and Edit button override

Inline editing unavailable

Inline editing is not available on non-EDQ Lightning components when the Edit action is overridden. This is an intentional Salesforce behavior and also happens with the standard Salesforce Record Detail component. One possible workaround is to remove the override for Edit only and rely on inline editing on the Lightning record page. Then, the Edit button should be removed from the page layout, as it will trigger the non-EDQ editing flow.

Override the New and Edit button so when creating or editing any record, the standard Salesforce Record Detail component is replaced with the EDQ Record Detail component.

Go to Setup.
Click Object Manager and select the object for the New and Edit button to be overridden.
Click Buttons, Links and Actions.
Click on the dropdown arrow next to New and Select Edit.
In Lightning Experience Override field:

a. Select Lightning component.

b. In the dropdown select EDQ_ContainerComponentModal (EDQ Record Detail).
In the Mobile Override field, select the same lightning component if you wish to make it available in Salesforce mobile App.
Click Save.
Repeat above steps to override the Edit button.

Experience Cloud limitations

When working with Record Lists in Experience Cloud sites and with the New and/or Edit buttons being overridden to use the EDQ component please note the following limitations:

The Save and Cancel buttons will appear at the very bottom of the New/Edit modal rather than sticking to the bottom of the visible portion as they do in the default Salesforce component.
