how to link to fields in second tab?

[bernhard]

if have links like that: /admin/page/edit/?id=1398&fields=title

that works great until the field is inside a fieldsettab. it does not show any fields  how can i solve this?

edit: got a little closer: you can link to the tab like this: ?id=123&fields=yourtabfieldname

but it shows the whole tab. not only the field i need. any hints?

It works for me even when the field is inside a fieldsettab:

Incidentally, the ability to edit individual fields like this is new to me. How did you discover it, and is it documented in the code anywhere? I'm curious if there are other hidden tricks like this.

thank you robin!

you got me on the right track - i had a field dependency on another field that was not shown. i have to show both fields then it works!

Hello @ all,

I use this technique to link directly to a pagetable field. Unfortunately images will be loaded but not be displayed in this case.

Can someone confirm this behaviour?

Another problem is that you have only a save button without the functionality of the drop down (save and go back to the page on frontend). So the workflow is not so good as loading the whole page.

Best regards
