Re: Edit cell in basic table field

Rev’s libraries are not debuggable in that sense. If I recall, any stack name that begins with “rev” is considered a Livecode Library (which can be useful for people building their own libraries). You can still however, use the new assert statement to build logging, or just simply use an answe

Re: Edit cell in basic table field

Yes. It’s called “use a data grid instead”. Table objects are simple fields that pretend to act as tables. Nothing beyond the messages a field gets are sent to a table field. It is JUST a field. That’s all. Datagrids on the other hand, are a complex group of fields and behaviors that make up t
