Adding, Deleting & Pasting

Adding & Deleting Rows

Adding rows: Click the New button in the toolbar to add an empty row at the bottom of the grid. The new row gets:

• An auto-generated Code value (if auto-generate is enabled for the entity)
• Active set to true by default
• All other fields empty
• A purple left border to indicate it's a new, unsaved row

Incomplete rows (where all required fields are empty) are automatically removed when you navigate away. Partially filled rows — where some required fields have values but others don't — are kept and show red validation borders.

Deleting rows: Select rows using checkboxes, then click Delete (N):

• A confirmation dialog shows a list of records that will be deleted
• Click Delete permanently to confirm
• Deletions cannot be undone via the undo stack

Copy & Paste

Copy (Ctrl+C / Cmd+C):

• Select one or more cells and press Ctrl+C
• A toast confirms the number of copied cells
• Domain fields are copied in {CODE} Name format

Paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V):

• Focus a target cell and press Ctrl+V
• Single value pastes into all selected cells
• Multiple lines paste downward starting from the focused cell (one line per row)
• Domain field paste is validated — invalid values show an error toast with suggestions
• Boolean field paste: always use 1 (true) or 0 (false), regardless of the display format configured (Yes/No, True/False, or custom labels)

Clear cells (Delete / Backspace):

• Select cells and press Delete or Backspace to clear their values
• Works on optional text fields
• Cannot clear required fields or domain references

Paste Rows

Paste tab-separated data from Excel via the Paste rows button in the toolbar.

1. Click Paste rows to open the paste modal
2. Paste your data (Ctrl+V) into the text area
3. The system auto-detects headers: if the first row matches field labels or column names, it's used as a header row
4. Without headers, columns are mapped positionally to entity fields
5. Domain fields (e.g., Zone, Area) are automatically resolved from display text to internal IDs
6. Boolean fields: paste 1 for true or 0 for false — display labels (e.g. Yes/No or custom labels) are not accepted
7. Preview shows up to 50 parsed rows with resolved values
8. Click Confirm to add all rows at once

Each pasted row gets a new unique ID and is added as a pending change.
