[Bug] Editable column is not working in show operation

[blessen131]

Then editable column feature is not working as expected when using the show operation. I've reviewed the demo app(https://demo.backpackforlaravel.com/admin/editable-monster/140/show) and it appears to be behaving in the same way.

How to hide editable column?
I was trying to hide column if completed is true
$this->crud->addColumn([
'name' => 'completed',
'label' => 'Status',
'type' => 'editable_switch',
'priority' => 5,
'visible' => function ($entry) {
if ($entry->completed) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
]);

"backpack/crud": "^5.6",
"backpack/editable-columns": "^2.1",

Based on the knowledge sources provided, it appears that the editable columns feature is not designed to work in the show operation of Backpack. The editable columns are primarily intended for use in the list operation.

According to the Editable Columns documentation, the editable columns feature adds functionality for quick edits directly from the table view. The documentation specifically mentions its use in the list operation and does not indicate support for the show operation.

Additionally, the changelog for Editable Columns version 1.0.5 mentions "Make editable columns work in show operation" as a feature. However, this appears to be an older version, and the current behavior you're observing in the demo suggests that this functionality may not be fully implemented or maintained in more recent versions.

It's worth noting that the show operation typically displays detailed information about a single entry, while editable columns are designed for quick edits across multiple entries in a list view.

If you need to edit fields in the show operation, you might want to consider using regular fields instead of editable columns, or implement a custom solution for inline editing in the show view.

If you believe this is a bug or unexpected behavior in the latest version of Backpack, I recommend reporting it on the Backpack GitHub issues page for further investigation by the developers.

Hello @blessen131

I will check about it and let you know the result. In any case, I notice you have an old version of CRUD and editable columns, will you update to the latest one? Because in case of pushing, an update will be for the latest version.

Cheers.
