 Therefore, tried following:

&lt;p&gt;We are using new gridField() with gridColumn, apologies for the typing error.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;a!gridColumn(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;label:&amp;quot;Name&amp;quot;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;value:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;a!recordActionField(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;actions: {&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;a!recordActionItem(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;action:recordType!&amp;lt;recordName&amp;gt;.actions.&amp;lt;relatedActionToUpdateName&amp;gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;identifier:&amp;lt;fv!row.id&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Trying above snippet, renders only related action name in the grid column and we can successfully execute it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;But we are looking for something to show existing column&amp;#39;s value, alongwith an edit action to update it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Edit a Column Value in Read Only Grid with Related Action</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/77501?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Oct 2020 09:44:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:e6731615-b35c-40ae-90fe-2c23f8eb402c</guid><dc:creator>Stefan Helzle</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I think adding a recordActionField into a gridTextField will not work. Try switching to the newer style gridField and create the columns via gridColumn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
