Thanks for the quick response - will implement the read-only/edit features.

May I suggest a different UX pattern here?
Assuming you are only displaying as subset at a time (such as 10 or 20) You could use a read only grid with record actions to edit each row, instead. This would also enable you to use Record user filters as well.

It's possible but requires a lot of manual work, as has been discussed many times here in the past.

My advice: it's not worth it. In the past when tempted to try implementing it myself, I've ended up changing my mind ultimatley. Instead, show the paged/gouped entries as a read-only grid, and allow users to click an "edit this row" control (icon, etc) on individual rows, and save their changes before proceeding to another row.
