Option columns in the table ​

Options can be added to the grid via columns (key msbe:option:*). Several values are shown separated by commas. A click saves one string and replaces the previous list. See inline editing.

Inline (scalar) ​

Clicking any option cell writes option / mode: set / valueKind: scalar for one product and replaces a tag list with that single string.
