Hi, Thanks for your reply. The problem is that as far as I can tell in order to enter an item of data using the form, I have to:
- Click "New instance" - Type the name and hit return - Click on the arrow next to the first property I want to fill in and "add blank row" - Type the value - Click on the arrow next to the next property I want to fill in and "add blank row" - Type the value And so on. So entering data becomes very slow as every property entry requires a keyboard/mouse switch. In the TBL default application it's necessary to: - Click "Add new resource" - Type the name - Double click on the resource - Click on the tab for the detail viewer - Click on the plus sign next to the first property and "add empty row" - Type in the value - Repeat this for every value - Click back to the overview tab to make the add new resource button visible again Again this is rather slow and requires several switches for every value. I was hoping there could be an editor where I can simply type subject <tab> predicate <tab> object <return> for each value but have the benefit of autocompletion of resources based on the ranges of the predicates and the existing resources.
