I'm trying to work out how to get these to work when the field is in a panel. Happy to code this up myself, but not sure where to start? Are you able to make any suggestions?

1) Read this: #687144: Provide support to edit individual fields in modal frames as well
2) Bump the CCK feature request where I posted a patch that would make this possible. I'm afraid to proceed there without further feedback from more than one source.
3) Re-open this issue or 1) when that patch to CCK gets in.

On the other hand, I think support for editing field groups works in Panels.

I was advised to use this module instead of editablefields which doesn't allow inserting new CCK values when the field accepts multiple values (editable fields won't show "add more" row.)

My fields are inside panels so I went and patched CCK with the wrong idea that it was going to work. When I read this issue more carefully I understand that this is not at all possible inside panels for now.

I understand if you don't have ample time for this module but requiring CCK people to have that patch committed before work on this side can begin... that really inhibits the chance for "panels support" to go forward. Couldn't you at least have a patch here for those who are ok patching CCK -like you advised.

Otherwise, I think it may be a good idea to list these as "known issues" or "what this module doesn't do" on the project page to save others time.

Something like:

- you can't edit individual fields.
- this won't work inside panels.

I would prefer something more intuitive, but for now I'm making it work in panels by combining Modal Frame CCK Editor and Automodal

<a href="{url of the modal frame cck editor}" class="automodal">Edit this field...</a>
