When you select some records, you press \"edit\" and then editor pane or window is open. In the window there' a list of editable fields, each one has a checkbox that points if corresponding field should be overwritten with save, that checkbox could be set manually or on first edit of that field.\r\n![2015-06-19 13-43-17](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/2145313/8249158/190b2738-1689-11e5-8e0b-69fed675f1fd.png)\r\n\r\n### 2. table of records\r\n![2015-06-19 13-52-17](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/2145313/8249286/68cbc5ce-168a-11e5-9483-c8420fa02615.png)\r\nSo it looks like a table in phpmyadmin or excel.\r\nYou can select a column, row, or several cells with shift/ctrl, then double click on them or press *edit selected* and a popup with value input appears. \r\n\r\n\r\n### Addendum\r\n At the top in both options - visibility filter (for example - show only items with price more than $100).

I was more meaning in our general PHP namespace. Not saying this is, or isn't, just that if this is only used by \"one person\" then it would be feature bloat.
