In this blog post I share a useful improvement to the SilverStripe 3.0 grid field component.
I love the new grid field system included with SilverStripe 3; as a developer It's very easy to work with, and is easy to operate in the CMS. However, it was frustrating having to navigate back to the main grid field screen everytime I wanted to add a new item to my list in the CMS. Why do I have to go through two steps just to add another item? I decided to improve this experience by creating a module for SilverStripe 3 that adds a new edit form that includes a "add new" button. This simple change significantly speeds up the process of adding several items to a grid field by eliminating the need to navigate back to the main grid field view.
