We have a custom page in Business Central that is based on a temporary table, and the page type is List.
When the page opens, it is in view mode, and the user has to click Edit List to start making changes.

Since this page is mainly used for selection and updates, and the data is temporary / session-based, we were wondering:

Is it possible to make such List pages open in edit mode by default?
Does this behavior depend on the PageType (for example, List vs Worksheet), even when the source table is temporary?
Are there any supported patterns or best practices to avoid the extra “Edit List” click for operational pages like this?

Any help or pointer is greatly appreciated.

I dont think it matters if its a temporary record or not.

List pages are by default opened in View mode while Cards default mode is Edit mode.

If a custom List page is based on a temporary table and the page is marked as Editable = true, the page can open in an editable state, allowing the user to start entering data immediately without clicking Edit list.
