The editablefields module has a couple of bugs that make it unusable in D7 for me. First of all, the patch in (#1206656: Error on Node view page: Argument 1 passed to drupal_array_get_nested_value()) still needs work and it's unclear that the problem is being solved properly and cleanly by the proposed solution. It is unclear whether this is solved in the latest (Feb 18) dev version. More importantly (to me), my issue (#1405854: Multiple fields not saved) comes up whenever there are 2 fields set to editable on the same node page. Only one of them saves and it seems that sometimes a field can get reverted to an old value. This issue (#1449750: Title field does not save changes) seems to have the same problem from within Views tables. I would also love to see (#1189196: Doesn't create revision on content-type which revision option is checked.) fixed.
I'm a PHP programmer but I suck at all things Javascript and I am struggling to make sense of this code. If someone would rather write a new version of this module from scratch and thinks they have a clean and elegant idea of how to do that, I'd probably be willing to sponsor that effort.
I emailed Damien Tournoud a few weeks ago but from the lack of response he's perhaps too busy to deal with these issues at present so I announced last week in my issue above that I would be issuing a bounty.
If you would like to take this on, please contact me and we can negotiate the scope in more detail and get a realistic estimate for cost. The minimum price I will pay to fix these is US$400.

I have added a patch
I have added a patch in Multiple fields not saved that seems to solve the problem #1405854: Multiple fields not saved, the main problem was that the entity was always stored using old values (this was load in form creation and not in submit). Additionally I made other changes and bug #1206656: Recoverable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to drupal_array_get_nested_value() .. called in editablefields.module on line 315 also seems to be solved
hoping to have helped solve this

Two of you responded that you
Two of you responded that you had already started work. While I appreciate the enthusiasm, you can have no expectation of payment until talking to me. The bounty has been awarded to the first person who replied with a fix but in the future it would be wise to confirm the work before starting.
I have no problems
I have no problems, while the bounty was attractive, I will be happy if only some of my contributions to be taken to solve some of the issues.
