List Edit in the Web Client
List Edit requires no configuration to allow you to edit some objects and data types in a results table in the Web Client. However, you must still configure the object type column set items in the Desktop Client in order to edit other object types using List Edit in the Web Client.
The ability to create specific objects and data types in the Web Client using LIST EDIT must be configured by adding the specific object create method to the object List Edit method. For example, you must add the Create Tag method to the List Edit Tags method in the List Management create method property field.
