Very cool! When on docs column, and pressing e to edit, it seems to just take you to edit the entire project, with no way to edit docs (which I am not sure what that even is supposed to be, I assume a way to attach files?).


This UX was a bit iffy for me, but I thought I'd experiment with it and decided to go with it.

When you edit an ID column, it opens a form editor to edit the entire row at once.

The thinking was to make all columns editable _in some way_, but ID columns are autogenerated and thus not designed to be directly manipulated.

I thought: since the ID represents a unique entity, in this case document, then it made some sense to make editing that editing the whole row.

That said, this is a bug even with the explanation I just gave: editing on the ID column of Docs doesn't show all the row's data in the form. Will fix that shortly.
