Inline editing in topic view¶

Text fields support inline editing directly from the topic view mode, without opening the full edit form. A pencil icon appears in the field header when the field is editable.

Clicking the pencil icon replaces the field value with a text input pre-filled with the current value. Save and Cancel buttons appear below the input.

On save, the field value is updated immediately and the topic activity is refreshed. Read-only fields or fields hidden from edit mode will not show the edit icon.
