Are ListView or Parent/Child controls an editable grid in ClearQuest?

ClearQuest 8.x

From a usability perspective, there are a number of roles that would make record changes but the productivity would be increased if the form was a 'grid' versus record based (slow) metaphor.

Is A) OOB controls in form builder, or B) A 3rd party plugin somewhere, or C) something we would develop (Java) and add to the ecosystem, or D) none of the above.

Thanks in advance

 I don't think you can do anything like that in the ClearQuest record form. ClearQuest needs to understand the element in the record form to correctly render it in various ClearQuest clients. It simply does not support "grid" in the record form.
The closest thing you can do is run a query and then do a bulk update on the selected records.

Can I not extend forms with custom code/API? (Either web based or fat-client)? 

Hi Frank,
In my experience, ClearQuest API is all about data retrieval and manipulation. I have never come across a case where the record form can be extended (with new features or controls). If you find any hints or reference, please let me know. :-)
