Idea Summary
Radio button and switch columns in the Interactive Grid should be editable without requiring the user to enter Edit Mode, consistent with the current behavior of checkbox columns. Alternatively, even if editing is not allowed outside of Edit Mode, these columns should still be visually rendered as radio buttons or switches in read-only mode, so users can clearly identify their purpose without needing to switch to Edit Mode.
Use Case
In a task management application built with Oracle APEX, an Interactive Grid displays a list of tasks assigned to team members. Each row includes a status indicator, implemented as a radio group (e.g., Not Started, In Progress, Completed) and a priority switch (e.g., High or Low).
Users frequently need to update task status or priority quickly during meetings or review sessions. However, the current limitation requires users to enter Edit Mode to make these updates, which slows down the process and adds unnecessary clicks or may be the user will not noticed that this a radio button / switch until he entered in the edit mode.
Allowing radio button and switch columns to be updated directly without entering Edit Mode, similar to how checkbox columns behave or at least to be visually rendered as radio buttons / switches in read-only mode would streamline the user experience, reduce friction in data entry, and support more efficient real-time collaboration.
Preferred Solution (Optional)
Radio button and switch columns in the Interactive Grid should be editable without requiring the user to enter Edit Mode, similar to the behavior of checkbox columns. Alternatively, these columns should at least be visually rendered as radio buttons or switches in read-only mode, allowing users to clearly understand their function without needing to switch to Edit Mode.
