In-place edit for object properties

You can enable in-place editing for an existing XWiki application, if you're using the Vertical Form layout, by editing the application sheet (the page used to display the application entries) and operating 2 changes:

1. Load the JavaScript code required for in-place editing and define some variables:

   #set ($discard = $xwiki.jsfx.use('uicomponents/edit/editableProperty.js', {
     'forceSkinAction': true,
     'language': $xcontext.locale
   }))
   #set ($object = $doc.getObject('Path.To.YourClass'))
   #set ($editing = $xcontext.action == 'edit')

2. Add some meta data to the definition term (dt) elements that wrap the field names:

   <dt #if (!$editing && $hasEdit)
       class="editableProperty"
       data-property="$escapetool.xml($services.model.serialize($object.getProperty('yourProperty').reference))"
       data-property-type="object"#end>

The result should look like this:
