how to change/edit values of datalist without opening record?

*using dx-7

I have searched the knowledge base and looked at the marketplace as well as the plugins and cannot find the answer to this. 

I have a datalist with containing records with text, date, text area, 1 dropdown and 2 checkbox options. 

i find it very inconvenient to have to click to edit the record in another screen and would like to be able to edit the values (the checkboxes and dropdowns are what I would really like to be able to edit) WITHOUT clicking on edit to open a screen. 

I found the datalist beanshell formatter and the script looks like it would work for this but when I enter it in on the datalist → formatter → beanshell screen nothing changes. 

I need it so that I am able to check and uncheck directly from the datalist screen and/or choose a different option in the dropdown. 

I am at a loss - how do I do this??
